Muodjers

Muodjers are a small, nomadic species native to the temperate grasslands of the continent of Aeridor. They are characterized by their dense, short fur, which ranges in color from earthy browns to muted grays, providing excellent camouflage within their environment. Muodjers stand approximately one meter tall at the shoulder and possess a slender build, adapted for swift movement across open terrain.

Their diet consists primarily of tough grasses and the roots of hardy subterranean plants, which they unearth with their strong, clawed forelimbs. Muodjers live in small, close-knit family groups, typically consisting of a breeding pair and their offspring. These groups are migratory, following the seasonal growth patterns of their food sources. Communication among Muodjers is achieved through a series of soft chirps, whistles, and subtle body language.

Socially, Muodjers are generally peaceful and avoid conflict. They are known for their acute hearing and keen sense of smell, which serve as their primary defenses against predators. When threatened, a group will scatter, using their agility to escape into the undergrowth or by digging shallow burrows for temporary concealment. Reproduction is slow, with females typically giving birth to one or two offspring every two years. The young are highly dependent on their parents for an extended period, learning essential survival skills before becoming independent.
