Homebrew Squirrelfolk Species Details

Squirrelfolk are humanoid creatures with Squirrel-like features and appendages, appearing as a hybrid between the two. They are incredibly nimble climbers and are fond of arboreal environments to make their homes. In ancient lore, their race are sometimes referred to as "scuirian." 

Squirrelfolk are not the most intimidating of the races. Covered in fur, they are often a red or orange color with long puffy tails, though some have a brown or even grey coat. They all have small dark noses, round black eyes and small but sharp teeth. Their choice of clothing is somewhat reminiscent of Scottish culture, often wearing a kilt instead of pants. Squirrelfolk like to cover up, as if they are always feeling cold. Wearing waistcoats over their tops and jackets over their waistcoats. Despite this, they do not wear shoes, or have ever needed them.
