Wombat

Wombats were tunnel-digging marsupials.
==Description==
Wombats appeared somewhat similar to beavers or small bears, with flat noses, bristly whiskers, rounded ears, short legs, and particularly heavy front claws. Their bodies appeared powerful, and they were covered in coarse fur.
==History==
Some believed that wombats had been brought to Toril from another world through portals.

==Trivia==
* Zox Clammersham, a rock gnome tinkerer stationed in Trobriand's Graveyard in the late 15 century DR, used a safe which featured pictographs of burrowing animals in lieu of numbers; one of these pictographs depicted a wombat.
* On some worlds, hippopotamus-sized desert-dwelling relatives of wombats called diprotodons were known. When present, these creatures were sometimes used as mounts or animal companions by wastelands paladins and druids, respectively.
