Tatteredlion's Common Nutling

Encyclopedia entry: This Nutling is an adult, but is only about a foot tall. It is a small, quick, agile creature. Nutlings are social beings that live in the shade of forests, often making homes inside hollow trees, in burrows, among rocks, or under tree roots. They hide their dwellings very well, but still live in large colonies where they are very cooperative. They band together to take down prey larger than themselves although they will also eat smaller prey, as well as plants. They will frequently have parties and other festive gatherings when the weather is good. However, different colonies of Nutlings will often be at war with each other. Sometimes these wars become extremely vicious and on occasion one Nutling colony will totally exterminate another one, through a succession of attacks that slowly whittle down the weaker group.
