Furbaby
The Furbaby, or Arcana Rodentia, is a nearly indestructible rodent that plagues the grasslands of Castrella. They have the personality & destructive level of an average household cat.
Biology
Being obligate herbivores, they sustain itself entirely off of plants & mushrooms. Their face is naturally blank until they are introduced to magic, & depending on the aspect, their expression changes. It is unclear to most how the face shifts, as it looks completely different from person to person, but there are professional Furbaby Readers who claim to be able to recognize the difference. This has often been a way for people to divine their child's birth aspect.
The Furbaby is nearly indestructible, but wildly weak. Despite being knocked out in a single blow, they are impossible to kill. Their population has remained stagnant over the years, as they have no reason to mass produce. They have often been used as introductory enemies for young adventurers & as household pets.
Culture
While Furbabies have often been pets, they also serve a crucial role in a yearly tradition at the Eversun Guild, that being the annual Furball Tournament. In it, many contestants play a game of tossing the Furbabies at one another to knock the other player out through contact. Aether is allowed as a means in the tournament. It is all in good fun, & the Furbabies greatly enjoy the energy & rough handling.
