Homebrew (HB) squirrel guy v2 Species Details

There are two kinds of societies in the squirrelfolk's world, they are almost polar opposites.

Town squirrelfolk tend to have an easier life, despite the hardships of trying to fit into a world of larger creatures. They make themselves into fast talking merchants, or messengers of important people, earning coins to buy food for their families. They tend to stay inside towns, having grown up hearing horror stories about the creatures of the wild. Town squirrelfolk families are close-knit and tend to live together in one house, usually consisting of grandparents, parents and up to three pups for each couple of parents. Though they tend to live right on top of each other, they would not have it any other way.

Wild squirrelfolk tend to have a harder life, forging and fighting for each day. At a young age these squirrelfolk are taught about the dangers of the wild that they live in, and how to fight, or avoid them all together and to be independent. Seeing this society is rare as they aren't very trusting of outsiders, they tend to go into hiding when seeing a stranger. Growing up in forests or woods these Squirrels see a lot of customs in towns as foreign and strange. Wild squirrelfolk families tend to be more spread out as they are territorial, most homes consist of singles or parents and up to three pups which leave as soon as they're adults to find their own section of the woods to inhabit.
