Mardas

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: Medium
Information: This sharp-clawed albino rodent is blind due to its nocturnal habits. In an attempt to compensate for this condition, it has developed three highly-sensitive ears. The operative word is attempt. For some reason, this creature lacks echolocation abilities. It can pick up the exact location of the sound of a twig snapping but appears incapable of mapping an area in its mind. As a result, it is constantly injuring itself by running into objects or risking its life wondering onto game trails of stealthier predators.

To insure its survival, this creature only comes out of hiding during new moon nights when it is darkest on its home planet. During this time, most creature with sight will seek the safety of their home nests or den. It is unclear as to why only creatures that have the ability of sight do this, but all the better for this creature.
