Squrrelfolk

Squirrelfolk are known for their quick thinking and tongue, generally quite the talkers they have found ways to fit into towns of larger species, even though most are still comfortable in the wild woods.   Squirrelfolk in cities tend to have an easier life, despite the hardships of trying to fit into a world of larger creatures. They make themselves into fast talking merchants, or messengers of important people, earning coins to buy food for their families. They tend to stay inside towns, having grown up hearing horror stories about the creatures of the wild. Town squirrelfolk families are close-knit and tend to live together in one house, usually consisting of grandparents, parents and up to three pups for each couple of parents. Though they tend to live right on top of each other, they would not have it any other way.   Their fur ranges from a orangey red to dull greys and browns that have black hairs mixed in. Their eyes tend to be black - large and always alert. Their pride is their tails, generally well groomed and fluffy, perfect for twitching when annoyed or excited. Touching a squirrelfolk's tail is frowned upon unless you are in a relationship (either romantically or family) as squirrelfolk tend to wrap their tails around each other to show affection.   Squirrelfolk are a little like dragons in the sense that they tend to horde, though for the most part, it's for the good of their families. As you might expect, they generally eat mostly nuts, but any vegetable will usually do. Many squirrelfolk cultures are vegetarian.
