Description:
Snuffles are multi-legged creatures with long fur that covers their entire body, and a set of gnarled teeth, and small beady eyes.
These creatures cruise across shallow waters and tidepools for free meals, using their outward pointing teeth to cleanly open shellfish and crush crustaceans. Their fur is thick and bristly in nature, making it a perfect environment for moss and other creatures to grow within it, creating its own unique ecosystem. This makes their fur come out green and fuzzy, which Snuffle’s will use for camouflage.
Some cultures considered snuffles to be the reincarnated souls of cursed humans due to their appearance. Looking into a snuffle’s eyes was considered a bad omen to these people, and so they were typically culled to ward off bad spirits. This practice, along with habitat loss and poaching, has caused this species to become critically endangered in its main habitats.
They do however thrive in the pet trade, as they are easy to domesticate and raise, making them perfect companions for people with a particular niche.
Misc Facts:
- Some Snuffles can harbour many species in their fur alone, including a species of crab (Snuffle Crab) that only live in their fur.
- Snuffle mothers use the used dens of other species to have their young, they can have up to 6 in a litter.
