Jerwa

==Overview==
The Jerwa is a common two-legged rodent found mostly in the desert regions of Dreyrull.
==Appearance==
Jerwa are commonly mistaken for mice due to their similar facial features and slender tails, though move quite differently. Their long, powerful back legs allow them to sprint quickly across the desert sands, outpacing their numerous desert predators. Large, tapered ears allow for both sharp long-distance hearing and the cooling of their tiny 3-inch bodies.Coloration
Always solid colored, Jerwa are found in tones ranging from pale white to dark, smoky brown.
Temperament
Fleet-footed and frequently hunted, these creatures and shy, skittish, and quick to vanish. They are, however, fond of their own kind, and are found burrowed with enormous family groups ranging from a few dozen to over a hundred.
Diet
The Jerwa have long, sturdy front teeth that allow for them to chew through tough roots, barks, and brambles that grow in otherwise harsh territory. Though typically vegetarian, they can be found eating insects in times when roughage is scarce. 
Habitat
The Jerwa are found almost strictly in desert regions, though they have also been found more sparingly in dry grasslands. They thrive only in warm climates.Article by Ostrydeo (talk)
