Origin

The Feirfur is a creature that can be found residing in dense woodlands residing in small burrows dug beneath the earth, as well as burrowing into tree trunks, charring the inside of the bark to a black crisp. They are natural, albeit some may think that there must have been some sort of voidal tampering to cause their existence. These creatures are not apex predators, but rather a small, defensible thing that have their place in the ecosystem; they are generally unharmed, and are omnivorous which allows for them to have an extensive diet that manages high-populations.

 

Summary

A Feirfur is a creature most easily compared to a possum or hedgehog. They are small rodent-like creatures that come in a small variety of colors; these are merely for aesthetic purposes, and grant no advantages. They are found in shades of red, orange, and yellow, although it has been said they have been found to be bright blue, too. The tips of their noses always appear crimson, and they’ve an elongated snout that thins out. Their ears are small and triangular, and their eyes are black akin to any other small rodent. Yet unlike other rodents, they lack a long tail and rather have a short stub.

 

What truly marks these creatures different to any other is the streak of fire along their backs. This can range from small embers to a blazing, albeit small fire. The color of the fire correlates to the color of their fur, hence the name of Feirfur. Due to the energy it takes to keep  a fire, the thing has an increased appetite that must always be satiated; a fire that lacks energy indicates a sick or malnourished Feirfur. Generally, they give off a soft sense of warmth when in their presence.

 

The Feirfur is docile and friendly- perhaps even lazy, and will never go out of their way to attack something near them unless they sense danger near their way. This means a Feirfur has the ability to burn should they be quickly grabbed, but nothing more than second degree, nor lethal in any way. With this, it is also far too difficult for a Feirfur to burn a building.

 

Taming

The Feirfur is a very food-motivated creature, and enticing it with balanced meals of both meat and veg will mean a new companion to bide your time with. Some may find the Feirfur has uses among being a companion, such as warming a kettle or heating up alchemical herbs on a whim. So long as they are often fed large amounts, the creature will do just about anything.

 

Redlines

- The Feirfur can, if consented by the targeted player, burn someone.

- The Feirfur cannot under any circumstances be used for arson/villainy/combat roleplay.

 

Purpose

The Feirfur is meant to be a creature that simply adds more flavor into the everyday (sometimes monotonous) RP on LOTC; specifically in its ability to heat items with a bit more ‘pizazz’ than emoting a flint and steel being used on kindling.
