Mustelkin

Mustelkin are bipedal race that resembles creatures from the mustelid family. They come in a variety of fur colors and patterns resembling the patterns of ferrets, weasels and other mustelids. With powerful jaws, long claws, and keen senses of their surroundings. Mustelkin are sensitive to people and changes to their home, making communities with them tight-knit with strong ties of loyalty to each other. Mustelkin tend to have a strong focus on family, friends and caring for those in their circle.

Perhaps this connection, in pair with their playful attitudes, is what draws the fauna and fey to them. Many mustelkin make their homes close to fey rifts and deep in the wilds, and have seemingly been blessed with the ability to speak with the creature inhabitants.
