Homebrew Giant Space Hamster Species Details
Space hamsters resemble their terrestrial kin, both in their appearance and general demeanor, and they come in variety of colors.
Space hamsters did not evolve naturally. They were believed to have been created by gnome colonists in order to serve as power sources for gnomish sidewheelers, so far without success. This original purpose guaranteed that these animals spread throughout the crystal spheres. Space hamsters fed on a variety of vegetables, raw or cooked meats, and large insects. Like their predecessors, space hamsters reproduced at an incredibly fast pace. They reached adulthood in about two years and lived up to about 18 years.
