Mouselings

== Physical Description ==
Mouselings are tiny creatures that stand a little over a foot tall. They are covered in short bristly hair with a long tail, large ears, a tiny snout, and whiskers. They stand on their back two legs, having learned how to walk and fight. 
== Society ==
Mouselings in Nibiru usually come from Skweectun. The race started as a mad experiment in an alchemy shop. A crazed scientist tried splicing Ratfolk dna with a field mouse. Mouselings were the result. They hid their intelligence and escaped the torture late one night, fleeing into the dark. Skweectun was founded under a large rose bush in a garden in the Arcane District.
== Relations ==
Mouselings are curious individuals. Despite their checkered past adventurers feel compelled to explore the outside world. They are friendly toward everyone except Catfolk, who they are strictly afraid of and despise. Tengu, on the other hand, are a Mouseling’s best friend.
== Alignment and Religion ==
Mouselings of all alignment can be found but they tend toward the good axis. They believe in supporting and helping those less fortunate. However, once in a while, a mouseling who was raised on the story of the abuse of their ancestor becomes bitter and angry, dipping into the evil side.
Mouselings don’t worship any particular god but believe in the Nibiru pantheon.
