Muttamok
this species of small mammals was not fully sentient, but often acted as if it understood what an intelligent creature was thinking. Resembling a bipedal, russet-furred fox, the average muttamok was attracted to bright and shiny objects, which it usually tried to steal and bring back to its lair. These objects were quickly forgotten in the hunt for new trinkets, but a captured muttamok had the uncanny ability to return a stolen object to its original owner. This act was accompanied by an apparent plea for sympathy, which was actually a modified Force skill that projected a form of friendship into the other being's mind. In this way, the muttamok was able to escape from its captor without harm, although it often left its trinkets behind.
