Mandrake Eater

The Mandrake Eater is a strange creature recently discovered in the Lost Temple. Much is currently unknown about them, but they appear to be a friendly and recklessly brave species. Currently their existence is being kept secret by the Serian Royal family to protect their small numbers.
==History==
Little is known about this creature, as it was first discovered by a Serian expedition team to the Lost Temple located in the Mariana trench.
==Anatomy==
A rodent of some kind, it appears to be almost like a cross between a Lemur and a squirrel. It's tail was large and flat, much like a beavers but is instead fluffy much like the rest of it. It has the ability to curl up into a ball, it's tail covering it's head and body so it looks like a strange round ball of fuzz originally mistaken as some strange flora. Their fur seems to come in any color, pattern, and combination. Some are solid while others are striped, speckled, spotted, splotched or something else. So far there does not appear to be any restrictions on their fur color or pattern, and likely possess such vivid colors due to not requiring camouflage.
==Behavior==
Mandrake Eaters are very friendly; the first encounter recorded with these creatures was one launching itself onto the head of one of the expedition members (Who was clad in purple) in a bid to either play or fornicate. After befriending the creature, it let the team to its nest and attempted to feed them (Note: This attempt led to it unearthing a local strain of Mandrake. Thankfully it was not a lethal breed, but it did render most members of the team unconscious)
==Uses==
There have been proposes to have the Mandrake eater serve as a form of Mandrake disposal, but currently they simply serve as companions in the temple for those performing research
==Cultural impact==
Due to them being kept secret, there is no cultural impact
==Trivia==
*They only exist in one place and that is in the Lost Temple in the Mariana trench
*They seem to enjoy the presence of those more spiritually based such as mediums, demons, or the like.
*A small number of them managed to follow one of the expedition members back to Seria and now follow them around.
