Physical Description

Skyrunners appear to be large thin squirrels with long heads and short grey fur. They have soft, gentle faces and are loved by elves. They are friendly to humanoid races and are sometimes taken as pets.

Combat

Skyrunners don’t fight. They run.

Habitat

Skyrunners live in small groups, but hunt and forage individually as do squirrels. They live most of their lives at the top of Certris trees, but can be found in lower branches and sometimes on the ground. They are named for their habit of running along the tops of Certris trees.

Ecology

The diet of the skyrunner consists of insects (especially butterflies), berries, leaves and bark. Skyrunners live in distinctive nests. These nests are hollow spheres with a single entrance which are skillfully woven together by the skyrunners out of natural materials (twigs, leaves, bark, grass).
