I was so thrown when I realized the Long-Tail was a, well, Long-Tail, and not our own local boy, the rough-skinned newt. I almost never see salamanders in my part of the valley! But oh my gosh, this seems so cute! This makes me want to try Mausritter. :)
Long toed salamander's are also local! I thought about using rough skinned newts, but wanted something smaller and a little less poisonous as a player character :)
Oh, yeah, they're totally local! We just don't get a lot of 'em around here, so it was interesting to me! That said, your logic makes perfect sense to me. Better luck next time, rough-skinned newts. <3
If it helps, I'm planning on statting them out as an NPC race eventually. Here's a little watercolor I did (that could use some touching up) of a swashbuckling rough-skinned newt merchant! Hawking goods to some mouse adventurers.

Can we get a single page viewing version? Makes it easier to read on mobile.

I don't play Mausritter but western Oregon ecology represent!! Maybe now I'll have to give it a try :)
Woot! Invite friends over for a game night and ambush them with facts about native ecology and our fragile ecosystems🌲🌲🌲
