Creature Friday - Cuteness
a month ago
This week, let's look at something that everyone seems to love: the fluffy critters that run around the forests, through the fields, and across the roads. Rabbits, squirrels, and other small creatures. These small creatures are vital for many ecosystems because of how they transport seeds, provide food for small and medium sized carnivores, and generally make the world nicer by being so cute! So the question this week is: What kinds of small cute animals exist in your world? Are they prized for their pelts or are just loved as pets?
In one world of mine I imagined two sapient species evolving on the same world, with one of them being small adaptable generalists that were "domesticated" by the other (like if instead of domesticating wild wolves early humans had trained helper monkeys)
I've also once thought of a scifi series with humanity being invaded and conquered by alien race that turn out to be quite small, and considered "cute" by humans due to their small size and mammalian appearance
