Furrats

Furrats are a fictional species originating from the online role-playing game Furcadia. They are depicted as small, mammalian creatures with fur, often resembling a blend of rodent and domestic pet characteristics. Their appearance can vary greatly within the game's lore, with players able to customize their furrat's colors, patterns, and physical traits. Furrats are typically portrayed as curious, playful, and sometimes mischievous characters.

Within Furcadia, furrats serve as one of the primary playable avatars. The game allows players to create and interact with furrats in a persistent online world. These characters have developed a notable presence within the Furcadia community and have inspired fan-created content, including artwork, stories, and merchandise. While not a real-world animal, the concept of the furrat has resonated with many players, contributing to the game's longevity and its distinct subculture. The term "furrat" itself is a portmanteau of "fur" and "rat," reflecting their visual inspiration.
