Harengon

Harengons may not be the strongest or the hardiest of beast-kind. Fortunately, their quickness and speed serve them well in ensuring that no harm comes to them. They share the keen senses and powerful legs of leporine creatures and are full of energy, like a wound-up spring. It is said that herengons are blessed with fortune, on account that they often find themselves a few fortunate feet away from danger. Though many pessimists usually chalk it up to the rabbit-folks' skittish and easily frightened disposition.
