Tufted Squealmouse



Name: Tufted Squealmouse

Habitat: Anywhere plant life will sustain the tough little furball. Common all over Karnor

Description:These small herbivores are often seen as fuzzy blurs, but are more often heard as ear piercing shrieks. These small striped rodents are often tiny enough to sit in your palm full grown.Their eyes are extremely reflective in the dark seeming to almost glow in starlight, a trait that has startled many the unwary in the night. These creatures scream loud and often if they perceive a threat. Its not unheard of for the occasional squealmouse to shriek until it passes out from the effort. They are a common pest wherever grains are stored and will choose raiding a barns stocks often over foraging for themselves.

Notable Abilities: Powerful night vision, A piercing shriek

Trainability A relatively easy to train if annoyingly loud pet. Motivated by food and driven by pact instincts they bond easily to those that feed them and make for excellent night watch animals if you don't mind being awoken by their shrieks.
