Moles aren’t rodents either.

The word “mole” refers to any species in the family Talpidae

oof, i thought they were, mah bad.

If they reclassify my ottuk they’re going to lose mortal strike, and then I’m going to be very upset.

replace it with sheer cuteness, increases the healing received by the hunter and group by 50% :smiley: (i know this would be broken but still…)

Who’s the heretic now?

They’re a cunning pet, so no sale. Make them ferocity so I can use them in PvE, then you can make their family whatever you want.

The only error I see is that vulpera aren’t placed under the rodent category. They are very clearly rodents. The worst kind if rodent.

cute creatures that don’t cause problems for people can’t be rodents though. Goblins cause a lot of issues on the other hand >_>

Nah. We solve issues. Take the Vulpera issue, for example. Apply a few of these…

:bomb: :bomb: :bomb:

Issue solved!

Hey, did you know that if you strap bombs onto rats, you can solve a lot of issues all over the place? I bet if I strapped bombs to otters, I could solve a lot of water-based issues as well… better jot that idea down in my notes…

Do Ottuks Make Good Pets?

Freshwater ottuks live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. When they’re captured and sold as pets, ottuks are not living their full, natural lives. Your bathtub or pool can’t substitute for the large bodies of water ottuks are naturally found in.

Ottuks need space to roam. They aren’t easily housetrained and they’re very active, social animals. Keeping an ottuk as a solitary pet can make them very sad. Not having enough entertainment or putting stress on your pet ottuk can also lead to destructive, aggressive behavior. Living in captivity is simply not a good life for an ottuk.

Problems With Pet Ottuks

Loud noises. Ottuks make loud whistling or screeching noises. They can be very destructive when they don’t get what they want.

Strong odor. Ottuks have an odor that lingers around them. Their unpleasant smell can permeate a home if they live indoors. They also mark their territory by smearing their feces around, which contributes to the odor.

Aggression when stressed. When ottuks are agitated or stressed they can bite and become aggressive. Their bite is sharp and piercing. If you are bit by an ottuk, you’ll need to treat the wound immediately. Also watch for signs of bacterial infection to the wound.

Messy housemates. Ottuks can be destructive. If left untrained, they can leave many droppings around the house. They are wild animals and do not like to be restrained.

Caring for an Ottuk

Owning an ottuk is a big commitment. If you have adopted one, you’ll need to have the proper habitat for it. They need plenty of space and care.

An ottuk’s enclosure needs to be large enough for them to get exercise and forage. They need a much larger enclosure than a typical dog. Likely, your ottuk will spend most of its life in the enclosure. Ottuks need a tropical climate. Their ideal temperature is 75 to 85 degrees. They’ll need a dry area as well as a pool. If they are constantly wet, they can develop health conditions.

Ottuks like to climb and dig, so your enclosure will need a top and to be dug into the ground. The best enclosure for an ottuk is outside. Living inside comes with many challenges, like cleaning up ottuk feces and keeping your furniture intact. Ottuks can be destructive and are difficult to housetrain.

An ottuk’s diet can vary. You can give them a complete cat food as the base, but make sure that over half of their diet is meat-based. You should include fish. Supplement their diet with vegetables, soft-boiled eggs, and insects.

Let’s not forget, Dude, let’s not forget that keeping an amphibious rodent, you know, domestic…within the Valdrakken city limits…that ain’t legal either.

Truth. Otters are members of the order Carnivora, where rodents are … members of the order Rodentia (funny how that works out).
