“It’s amazing what you’ll see when you actually slow down and take a moment to appreciate nature. You can get so caught up in all the big monsters and exotic wildlife that it is easy to miss the small things. Keep an eye out for the beautiful gliding tem-tems or a vyaga tunneler next time you’re traveling through the woods!” - Rod Lefure, Shopkeep
Tem-Tems. The tem-tem kite-rat, also called ‘tem-tems’ or ‘kite-rats’ for short, are a species of rodent named for their gliding membranes. While most tem-tems live on ground level, they will often times run up trees and other tall objects so they may bound off of them, and glide toward their goal. Tem-tems live in large families of 6 to 12, and will team up with the other tem-tems to fight off potential predators.
Vyaga Tunnelers. Vyaga tunnelers are a species of small mammals that burrow just below the forest floor. They are herbivores, and as such do all that they can to avoid other living things. Vyaga tunnelers live in groups of 2 to 4, and build small, temporary burrows for shelter. Hunters will often wear vyaga pelts, since obtaining one is a sign of great prowess.
