Oreonana
Oreonana is a fictional creature originating from the fantasy novel "The Whispering Woods" by author Elara Meadowlight. The creature is described as a small, rodent-like mammal with bioluminescent fur that emits a soft, greenish glow. Its diet consists primarily of specialized fungi found deep within the ancient forests of the novel's setting. Oreonana are known for their shy and reclusive nature, rarely being seen by outsiders. Their glowing fur is believed to serve as a form of communication within their species, particularly in the dimly lit undergrowth where they reside. Ecologically, they play a role in seed dispersal for certain plants within their habitat. The specific characteristics of Oreonana, including their unique adaptations to their environment, have made them a subject of interest among the characters in "The Whispering Woods" who study the natural world. Their population is said to be stable but dependent on the health of their forest home.
