Purgaman (SirenD on DeviantArt) Habitat: The Purgaman (pl. Purgamen) often resides in cold, damp, and secluded environments. Typically, one can be found either in old, abandoned sewers, or some long abandoned cavern. In addition, the smarter, more uncommon variety may roam the alleyways of urban cities. Size: Purgamen are roughly the size of a rat. They can grow to be anywhere from 12 ft. to 16 ft. long. They will be relatively light, weighing only around 5 lbs. Diet: The Purgaman is an intelligent scavenger. However, it is a terrible hunter, almost incapable of catching anything larger than an extremely small mouse. Most of the time, the Purgaman will often scavenge for food in the midst of society's waste, rummaging through garbage, searching trash bins, sewers, and other common locations for a civilization's discarded food. Regardless of if the meal is fresh or not, a Purgaman will happily dine on any scrap food, may that be meat, stew, vegetables, fruit, bread, or any other leftover meal. In the wild, where no human waste is available, Purgamen shall attempt to capture small bats or mice, or feast on herbs. They may also take to stealing crops from readily available, unguarded farms. Temperament: Purgamen tend to be akin to a cat. Unless severely provoked, they'll be fairly docile, instinctively fleeing from any danger rather than engaging it, lest their home is under siege. With that said, they're still somewhat cocky, able to sneak up to much larger people, provided that they don't scare the creature away. Should one wish to tame a Purgamen, it wouldn't be that difficult, given their tranquil nature. Simply offer them their preferred food continuously, and they'll become easily domesticated, taking to their new master rather quickly. Characteristics: Purgamen are not territorial. They are individualists, extremely singular creatures with no desire of bunking down with others of their kind. One may find a "nest" of Purgamen, where multiple creatures share the same cave, but by no means do these cat like fiends interact with each other very often. They may dine and defend their home together, but outside of these fundamental activities, they will separate from each other. They are so secluded that, when two Purgamen do the funky, the male will simply dash away, with no will to ever see his partner or his potential children again. The mother, on the other hand, will raise her litter, normally consisting of 3 - 10 offspring, all the way until the age of six seeds (IC'ly six months, OOC'ly six days). At this point, Purgamen are capable of reproducing themselves, as well as scavenge for food, migrate to new locations, and care for themselves, including their hygienic patterns. Fundamental hygiene among Purgamen include licking themselves clean, much like cats, but with a twist. Using their extremely long and capable set of whiskers, they'll first lick themselves, and then spread their saliva across their body with the whiskers, hoping to clean any dirt or dust stuck in their pores. Speaking of their pores, Purgamen do not grow much hair. They'll bear microscopic hairs on their skin, but otherwise, the surface of their body is extremely rough. They come in mostly dark colors, such as grey, black, and very rarely a dark, blue hue. Summary: These mischievous critters are sly, jittery, intelligent, and resourceful. Given all of the factors above, they make superb survivors, and awfully docile pets. While they may be ugly, they're extremely loyal to their masters, should they have one. Purgamen are awfully unique. Origin: They originally bred in the sewers of Felsen, back on the continent of Vailor. After the mass migration to Axios, they stowed away among the ships travelling to the new lands, massively decreasing their population size. As they were released into the wild, they made their way to new settlements, caves, and other such damp areas. Weaknesses: The Purgamen have a generally strong dislike of bright lights, wishing to avoid the sun as much as possible. They're also repulsed by fire, being easily flammable. LM Approval Required: No Redlines: - It'd be unreasonable for a Purgaman to be any more powerful than a rat, either defensively or offensively. - Although they behave like that of a cat, they only bare sharp teeth, not elongated claws. They have nails, but not claws. - They do not have tails. - Even by their master's request, an unprovoked, offensive attack on another individual, when not being hunted, is against their very natures.

@HedgeHug Spirit Type: Lesser, under Trokorl Spirit Name: Krap Spirit Totem: Krap takes the form of a large, beady eyed rat, rummaging through piles of trash and garbage. Alignment: [Known by Few] [Commonly Praised] [Alignment: Neutral] Discovery: Discovered some time ago by a group of Shamen, after one of their ceremonies, some had stayed behind to clean up their leftover rubbish. Upon throwing away their garbage, a small shout was heard from the garbage bin, revealing a relatively large, smelly rat, poking it's head out from the bin! It's name was Krap, the spirit of all trash, garbage, and rubbish related affairs. The modern day followers of Krap live in the Trash Goi, and spend their days collecting garbage from around the realm, in his honor.
