Homebrew Emperor Hamster Species Details
Emperor hamsters look just like really giant hamsters that walk on their hind legs. The emperor hamsters are the superiors to that of your everyday hamsters. The first emperor hamster created was actually a complete mistake in an attempt to splice the genes of a human and a dwarf. Next thing the scientist knew, they were a giant hamster, who had an army of hamsters following them and fighting for them. From then on, the mutated genes of the emperor hamster spread, making them more and more common among populations. Emperor hamsters in society are typically either laughed at or worshipped as nobles, ruling kingdoms and running diplomacy between kingdoms and empires. Among hamster populations, they are more closely considered to that of gods or goddesses, as they are supreme in comparison. Emperor hamsters tend to take names of great power and influence, or that of great rulers from the past... even if they don't hold these positions of power.
