Poggle

The Poggle is a small furry gerbil like animal that lives 100 million years in the future. It lives in the mountainous territory surrounding the Great Plateau that contains: Tibet, Australia & North America, where it thrives on plains, mountains, cliffs & gorges. This fuzzy creature resembles a pika mixed with a small possum or mouse. The diet of this creature is almost entirely Grass Tree seeds, however it is very likely that it feeds on various other alpine plants, flowers or roots. The behaviour of wild bands of poggle is similar to that of squirrels as they swiftly hoard away seeds, fruit, nuts & other plant materials. The behaviour of cullable poggles are more like domesticated hamsters or mice as they live without need to care about the everyday struggle for survival such as finding food, escaping predators & identifying elligable partners for reproducing. It is important to note that they are far stronger than silver spiders. Although they can get easily overwhelmed by a larger group of silver spiders. Poggles are about 3-5 inches tall, but the King and Queen Poggle can become up to 8 inches.

Behavior
The last of the mammals, the poggle is a small rodent.

It lives an easy life within the silver spider colony free from the cares of finding shelter and food. All they need to do is eat and breed.

Feeding
Feeds on grass seeds harvested for them by silver spiders. Sometimes, yet very rarely, go out for their own food. When defeating a band of silver spiders, Poggles will bring the bodies to their den where they eat it with their fellow poggles. This feast is a well known tradition for child Poggles.

Breeding
Produce live young as its predecessors. They frequently breed to keep their species alive. Male poggles are known to be able to breed 3 times a day. Poggles are also known to be able to switch genders and reproduction systems at will to maximize population growth. Poggles are very fertile and produce large numbers of offspring.
