dulures

Dulures are a type of fictional creature that appear in the works of fantasy author R.A. Salvatore. They are often depicted as small, rodent-like beings with a penchant for mischief and thievery. Dulures are known for their agility and ability to move quickly and silently, making them adept at stealth and infiltration. Their appearance is typically described as diminutive, with large ears and bright, beady eyes. They are often portrayed as having a natural curiosity and an insatiable appetite, which frequently leads them into trouble.

In Salvatore's novels, dulures are sometimes companions to characters, offering a unique blend of comic relief and unexpected aid. However, they can also be antagonists, serving as a nuisance or a minor threat due to their opportunistic nature. Their motivations are generally simple, driven by immediate needs and desires rather than complex schemes. The lore surrounding dulures suggests they inhabit hidden burrows and dark corners, thriving in environments that offer concealment. Their social structure, if any, is rarely explored in depth, with individuals often acting independently or in small, opportunistic groups. The term "dulure" itself carries a connotation of something small and perhaps insignificant, yet capable of causing disproportionate annoyance.
