Homebrew Wildfolk: Sciuridae Species Details

Sciuridae, commonly called Squirrelfolk, have a hard life, forging and fighting for each day. At a young age Sciuridae 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 Sciuridae see a lot of customs in towns as foreign and strange. Sciuridae 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.
