Meer-rat

Meer-rats were long-bodied, reptilian rodents with scaly heads found in the Jen'rahb in Ehrlitan. They ate lizards.The Bonehunters, GlossaryThe Bonehunters, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.55-56 They had hinged skulls and bones like green twigs. Their ability to slip into cracks that even a snake could not attempt made them difficult to capture.
They made terrible pets as when startled, they lunged for the nearest hole in sight. Corabb Bhilan Thenu'alas recalled a story in which one meer-rat owner died with her pet lodged halfway up her nose.
Sentry meer-rats stood upright for better views.The Bonehunters, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.171
