Mustelians

Mustelians are a humanoid Mustelidae race residing all throughout Aurilia.

Mustelians are naturally thought of as “pests” by other races- and thus they can almost be found anywhere in the world. Although, surprisingly, they don’t have a kingdom to call their own. This is because they mainly live in other kingdoms, leeching off of their hard work. They normally do this by stealing or just threatening them. Mustelians were once a part of the animal kingdom themselves, just being larger and more dangerous Mustelidae, but they began to evolve and get more intelligent. Soon, they had caught up with intelligence similar to that of a human. Spread out all throughout the world, they began to integrate into multiple societies and live their lives. However, the majority of the world saw them as pests due to their looks and old nature, so drove them underground or even out of their lands. Some places saw them as another race in the world, and treated them all the same as others. However, the bad blood continued throughout many generations and the world's views on them dropped. Some Mustelians are still good people, but that's a small percentage of them. The bigger percentage of Mustelians are thieves, bandits or assassins. Some may find themselves in a better position and be mercenaries. Today, this still continues, and things are only getting worse for the Mustelians.

## Pyschology

Mustelians are more distanced from society, with a small few becoming hermits. And as stated before, they often are thieves or criminals. All though in some cases, some try to revert back to being wild animals and resume the hunting and hunted life. They are also incapable of anything politically related, as their minds were not made for anything of the sorts. All Mustelians prefer to have full on masculine traits- both physically and mentally. Because of the rittic inside of them, they are generally more hostile to other races- and also worsens their social awkwardness and antagonistic mindset.

## Anatomy

Mustelians are made to be swift and sneaky, and aren’t made for heavy weight things even if they are “strong”. Their appearances also vary, as each Mustelidae looks different. Anatomy wise, this is also the case. They also have a strong sense of smell to make up for their weak body. Mustelians are strictly carnivorous, meaning they will only eat meat or anything of the sort. All mustelians have a naturally ragged look, causing other races to go as far as calling Mustelians a repulsive race to encounter.

**Mink -** Mink Mustelians have a soft black or brown fur coat, and usually have a green or hazel eye color. Mink’s are generally more savage out of the four, generally eating their meat raw. They are the most socially awkward as well, preferring isolation out in the wilds.

**Ferret -** Ferret Mustelians are either brown and white or black and white. Their fur coat is more rough, and their eye colors are either blue or brown. Ferret’s are more social, and are seen as the more civilized Mustelians. Although this doesn’t mean they can’t be criminals or thieves.

**Otter -** Otter Mustelians have full black fur coats. The fur coats are very thin, making it more suitable for swimming.  Their feet and hands are webbed, making them more suitable for aquatic environments. They’re usually in between minks and ferrets in terms of socialness. Otters have a green eye color.

**Stoat -** Stoat Mustelians have red and white fur coats, and have a bit longer necks. They have a blue and green eye coloration, and are generally the more mischievous of the Mustelians. Stoats are usually found in the slums of cities, making shady deals with strangers.

## Language

The Mustelian language is called “**Muk’íí**” which consists of squeaks, shrieks, clicking and whistles. It’s nearly impossible for any other race to learn, as their vocal cords aren’t made for it. A Mustelian’s vocal cords were specifically made for their language. If one were not a Mustelian, and would try to speak Muk’íí, it would sound very wrong in terms of grammar and pronunciation making it very hard to understand.
