Fairy tale kingdoms are havens for humans and creatures of all kinds.  A bear is as likely to own a shop as any human, elf or fairy.  These animals are much like their common counterpart with a few exceptions.  They are much more intelligent, often the same intelligence as a human.  This in turn allows the animal the ability to speak.  Lastely Awakened animals gain the use of an opposable thumb, regardless of their normal feet.  This means that an awakened rat can use a sword with much the same proficiency as a halfling.
