Scurrier biology! As previously mentioned, scurriers have airbladders and gliding membranes not unlike a giant sugar glider or flying squirrel, though they're retractable and hidden until use so as to not interfere with range of motion. Normally, scurriers are hexapeds, meaning 6 limbs plus their tail! Modern tank-grown varieties are quads, though they can be ordered genefixed to bring back the extra pair. Each pair of limbs includes prehensile paws. Not quite like a gorilla or monkey in that they're almost like actual hands on their legs that have slightly modified wrists to withstand the stresses of walking without interfering with range of motion, and their knees actually bend backwards like an elbow. Combined with incredible flexibility and they can do things such as eat and even rub their faces with their bottom feet!

The tail is prehensile, roughly 1.3-.5 times their body length on average, and many sold as pets are implanted with a smart-material cybernetic nozzle capable of shapeshifting itself to fit any tank or hose, hidden in that fluffy tuft and a hose system to allow their tail to function as a method of filling their airbladder if they'd prefer to keep their mouths free for speech, food, etc. Modern scurriers come with temperature tolerance and vacuum sealing modifications, rendering their bodies a semi-closed system, recycling CO2 into oxygen using an internal nanofabrication implant, completely eliminating the need to breathe while the temperature tolerance lets them survive temperatures of hundreds of degrees Celsius both positive and negative without problem! Do you live on the icy fringes of Pluto? How about the scorching heat of Mercury? We have you covered!

Some even have highly photosynthetic fur and skin through similar nanotechnological means, allowing their fluffy little bodies to act like a living solar panel which can assist the gene-modded Eelware to produce bioelectricity to power not only their own implants but even charge your smartphone! Because of the nanotech basis, it doesn't interfere with color, allowing them to come in any color you could possibly desire rather than the standard green.

Most modern scurriers have cyberbrains, rendering them vastly more intelligent than their wild counterparts and often more intelligent than most people, able to calculate and process information as fast as a computer while still having a human-like personality. This also allows them to store their memories electronically, allowing for perfect recall even of details they weren't consciously paying attention to! For example, they might glance at a note for just a moment and review the memory later to read the letter in detail, or even download their memory into a computer for someone else to view!
