Tufted Ground Squirrel (Rheithrosciurus macrotis)
Habitat & Distribution
Resides only in lowland tropical forests; occasionally ventures into orchards
Found on the island of Borneo
Physical Description
Weight: 1–2 kg (2.2–4.4 lb)
Length: 63.4–69.4 cm (25–27.4 in)
Tufted grown squirrels are generally brown with reddish tints; they have a white stripe running down the sides of their bodies, and long tufts on their ears
The tail is extraordinarily large and fluffy, and adults have long, grooved inscisors
Behaviour
The tufted ground squirrel forages both on the ground and in trees; its diet include nuts, seeds, and fruit
Potential predators include mustelids, birds of prey, and clouded leopards
Key Advantages
The tufted ground squirrel's large inscisors are mainly used for cracking hard nuts, but have often been rumoured to be used to hunt deer
Its large tail is thought to disorient potential predators
See where they stand in the May Mammal Madness Tournament here!

my dog voice "the fact that you won't let me run into the street to chase that squirrel and kill it with my teeth is actually so toxic"

y'know, excited as I am to be playing in a new sandbox and getting to know a whole new cast of colorful characters (as well as making new characters and seeing how they interact with- and are shaped by the story), I've honestly just been feeling so emotional about getting to see my Inquisitor again. specifically about maybe, potentially, getting to see him interacting with Dorian again.
I spent the better part of a decade (on and off) with that guy roaming around in the back of my head, I had almost resigned to never really seeing him again by the time I made him in BG3 as a fun little AU, but now that there's FOR SURE a new game coming, and there's a REAL CHANCE that the both of them will show up again, I just....
I really want to know for certain that those two truly do get the happy ending they so deserve.
