This is a creature from five million years in the future. The Common Magrat (Lacreallium vulgaris) is a descendant of the Norway Rat which lives in mountains of North America and Eastern Eurasia. The Common Magrat is fairly typical of Magrats, though the Queen Magrat can get up twice it's size. An omnivore which is more interested in plants, Magrats are medium sized burrowing rodents well adapted to extract a living in their cool forest homes eating whatever they can find. They have long shaggy fur which protects them against the chill into which plants often get tangled and matted. Magrats are social and live groups of a few dozen presided over by a dominant female. Magrats have a tendency to collect shiny things for their warrens. They are not aggressive creatures and don't seek confrontation, but they are quite intelligent and will defend their burrows and young if provoked. Mountainside predators will often go after Magrats, but few of them will continue the chase to their warrens.





Yes, I started with the name and came up with the creature around it.
