Groundhog

A groundhog, often called a woodchuck, was a small mammalian creature.
==Description==
Groundhogs were able to gnaw through wood and trees at a quick rate. They were fairly common.
Woodchucks were somewhat dexterous and were good at hiding, moving silently, and listening. They also had a strong sense of smell.
==Ecology==
The little animals were of no threat to humans. Woodchuck pelts were worth about 1 gp each. They were sometimes used as familiars, particularly by gnomes. The red meat of such critters made up a large portion of the diet of aurumvoraxes.
On the continent of Faerûn, groundhogs were known to dwell in Cormanthor and Amn. In the Crowded Sea, sapient groundhogs lived on the island chain known as the Steaming Isles.
Beyond Toril, they could be found on the planet of Chandos.
