Woodland Pets

These are the small folk of the forest floor, who were there before the path and will be there after it. They bite, and they hoard, and the wood itself is said to take their part when they are wronged. The grigs ride chipmunks, saddled and full grown, and think no other mount worth feeding.

At the far end of the family stands the grizzly bear, which is not small. It has no magic in it whatever, and has never been seen to want any. The keepers class it with the chipmunk because both came out of the same wood, and nobody has cared to argue the point with the bear.

Details

• Commonest to rarest, with their young: Chipmunk (chipmunk pup), Raccoon (raccoon kit), Beaver (beaver pup), Badger (badger cub), Wombat (joey), Grizzly Bear (grizzly cub).
• Their eggs are moss covered and orange. They are found in treasure, and the rarer ones are seldom seen in the treasure of low levels.
• The grizzly bear can learn no magical trick at all. Of the tricks the others can be taught, half or more are non-magical.
• A grig begins with a grown, saddled chipmunk.
