Weasels

Last updated Dec 21, 2024

# Overview

Weasels are a group of carnivorous predatory mustelids native to the 0th, 2nd, and -1st realms. The term includes common weasels, stoats, ferrets, mink, and archweasels. They inhabit the grasslands and woodlands of their respective realms, feeding on small mammals.

# Appearance

Weasels are small, with a length of 17-22cm from head to tail. They are long and nimble, with a short coat of dark fur that becomes thick and white in the winter.

# Behaviour

Weasels are diurnal lone hunters, mainly attacking rodents and hares. They opt to confuse their prey by jumping up and down sporadically in a behaviour known as the ‘war dance,’ and use their swift, nimble bodies to take down larger animals.

# Cultural Perception

In some Minikin cultures with overlapping distribution with weasels, the animals are feared and venerated, as weasels can easily take down a minikin caught unaware. Sacrifices of small rodents are often made by spiritual leaders to appease the angel of weasels, and protect them from their predators.
