Congrats on your new pet! Scurriers are raccoon-sized gliding extraterrestrial rodents from the jungle world of Haplopelma. Naturally intelligent and highly curious, they're rarely hostile. Skills include language, tool use, even altruism and laughter, making them a prime target for attempted uplift brain-enhancing techniques. There are currently two varieties. Wild Sciurids, and the modern tank-grown Scurrier with human-level intelligence, with the Scurrilloon being a sub-category of the latter.

So the first thing to know about owning a pet Scurrilloon is they tend to be absolutely absurdly insatiable when it comes to size. Fat, macro, hyper, inflation, even vore due to their highly omnivorous nature. To a Scurrilloon, bigger is better. Air and other such gasses are stored in an internal airbladder, rendered unpoppable by modern nanotechnological methods, so given the proper gasses or other fillings such as fluids if you prefer a more sloshy pet, a scurrier will happily puff themselves up forever! Bigger than houses, cities, continents, even planets! With the patented air tank your little pet will become very big, very quickly. An entire two years of oxygen stored in a soda-can sized tank thanks to those same nanotechnological techniques to store it as a hyper-dense solid for your pet to enjoy, free of charge!

Disclaimer: We are not responsible for any property damage caused by your ever-growing pet. Be aware that your pet Scurrilloon may decide to vore you. We assure you this is completely harmless and a sign of affection, to keep you safe and close to it as it grows. Please check your planet's laws about adopting before your pet outgrows it! By adopting you waive all legal rights to sue. Have a nice day!


Since so far, Thomas is the only scurrier on FA, figured there should be a fun little primer.
