Post by Charon »

Preliminary build for a race of anthropomorphic squirrels based on the character Hoodwink from DotA2.

Stylistically, Hoodwink is presented as having a New Zealand accent, peppering her speech with Kiwi slang and has a cheerful and playful nature.

Nutkin

Nutkin are a race of humanoid squirrels. Twitchy and skittish by nature they also have a burning curiosity that leads them to leave the forests behind and explore the world of the big folk.

Scurry - Once per day a Nutkin can scurry, doubling their speed to 60ft on land / 40ft climb. This effect lasts for 1d4 + con mod rounds.

Inside me there are two Gremlins, and they both Gigi Murin. And they are screaming. At the same time.
