Rixcritter
Rixcritter
All rights and stuff are that of Wikipedia
I knew I had written about this creature as one of my previous pseudonames (blush - I was nervous about writing under my own name). I had to go to each of my psuedonames and search in all their writings, but I found it. You can find it here. There is an interesting story about the rixcritters on this other site.
A rixcritter was given to me by my now deceased brother. He had a dream about it one night and told me to use it in my stories. He was excited about helping me! It was the first time anyone had helped me with my writing without me having to ask them to do something specific! So I had to use it in my new book, Warrior Crone!
These creatures are bark colored creatures which resemble ticks in many ways, though there are many differences as well. Their front two claws are comparable to bird claws. The other six legs end in thin and narrow toes which end in long thin claws for climbing and holding onto tree bark, as a squirrel does. Rixcritters can get about three foot across and three or four foot long, standing about six inches high. They weigh approximately one to four pounds.
Their diet consists mainly of small fruits and berries. Though, they can, and often do, defend themselves and their territory. However, their territory is the bush they are eating from at the moment or their nesting area. In general, if you are larger than they are, they will leave you alone. The only time they take on a larger creature is when they are defending their nesting area or when food is scarce.Generally, they nest in the same areas as birds and often work with them to protect and feed all the young. It is not unusual to see a rixcritter feeding baby birds berries and small chunks of fruit.
