This doesn't actually happen when you're typing

Image description:
A person is working at a desktop computer. Narration: "Sometimes when you're typing..."
Narration: "...With phantom claws..." The person is now shown as a gryphon, with their claws punched through the keyboard.
In exasperation, the gryphon struggles to get their claws out of the keyboard.
End description.

I'm not satisfied with this one, since therianthropes' phantom sensations don't work like this! A therianthrope can feel like their claws were passing through a keyboard, but it wouldn't make anything happen like this. I was trying to work with old (1997-ish) slang from the dragon community on alt.fan.dragons. They had a running joke that they'd hired a typist due to their claws, blaming them for typing mistakes. Then they called their human, physical body their "typist."

It's certainly funny in a "boy, what if that really happened" way.
