| General Introduction: Giant Hamsters are about the
size of a medium sized dog.
Fully grown they range from 2
to 4 feet from head to tail
and stand about a foot high.
The colorings are the
same a regular size hamsters.
The majority have soft
brown fur with white
underbellies and pink feet and
a
pink nose. Their tail is short
and stubby. Giant
Hamsters also come in the long
hair variety as well.
Long hair hamsters come in a
wider range
of colors
black, white, brown, and a
mixture of those.
|
| Combat: Giant Hamsters bite with long
sharp teeth. They will
only attack if provoked or if
trained to attack (see
below). |
| Habitat/Society: Giant Hamsters are bred by
professional Giant
Hampster breeders. No wild
Giant Hamsters are known
to exist. The only place to find
Giant Hamsters are in
Hylo of Northern Ergoth.
No ones knows exactly where
Giant Hamsters first
came from. Legend claims that
the first Giant Hamster
was sent here from another
planet to warn the kender
of an impending doom. Of
course most serious scholars
dismiss this as a kender tale
and assume they were
created by a kender trying to
create some sort of
magical hamster. The result
being a giant variety of
hamster not a magical one.
|
| Ecology: Giant Hamsters are probably
the best kender pet for a
number of reasons. Unlike
dogs Giant Hamsters can
follow kender just about
anywhere. They can slide
through small spaces and even
climb walls! In places
where pets aren't allowed
Giant Hamsters can be
trained to roll up and they can
be placed in a backpack.
Their cheek space is much like
a kender pouch allowing
a kender to pocket an item
inside the Hamster and
retrieve it later (like after the
kender has been
thoroughly searched).
Like dogs, they can be taught
tricks (sit, heel, fetch,
guard). More than that Giant
Hamsters are quiet,
cuddly and just plain cute. |
