#itoos beasts

Depending upon the biome with which the tree rat is found in, these animals can range from having bright pink and green fur, to what is described as "galaxy"-like fur. Besides their appearance, these animals are famous for being able to float and communicate through aether waves, upon bending wave particles with an aperture found inside their cranium.

Due to their ability of bending aether waves, humanoids (both capable and incapable of telepathy and aether-particle use themselves) can become to attuned to the tree rat, and can "sense" their feelings, and vice versa.

Because of the ability to "communicate" with this creature, hunting them has become a nigh-impossible feat. If there is what is considered to be a tree rat "infestation", the herd of tree rats can be moved with the communication of one's own feelings to the herd.

While the idea of having these otherwise cute and very intelligent creatures as a pet, their size and need for having multiple members of a herd or "pack" can cause these creatures to rarely bond with a humanoid. Companionship, however, is possible.

Tree rats often find home either underground, in caves or in the bases of large trees. Their common name comes from the most typical type of "tree rat"- those that build their nests in the hollows of trees.
