I thought I would post this little entry to explain what a Rumma is, considering it is mentioned in the latest chapter.

Rumma are best described as a sort of rabbit-lizard-wallaby hybrid. One to two feet in length discounting their tail, they have long, tube like bodies, legs adapted to leaping and are covered in a thick brown (white in tundra morphs) hair. The lower legs, hands and tail are hairless and scaled. Rumma have three toes per foot and four fingered hands. The legs are twice the length of the arms and are the primary means of movement. Rumma have large forward facing eyes and long flexible stalks that are often mistaken for ears. They are grazers and possess four continuously growing incisors per jaw. Rumma live in large communities, lead by a matriarch. They dig complex tunnel networks that can span for up to half a mile, and ar a constant source of frustration for housing developments. During the day most members of the "community" stay in the cool confines of the tunnels, while a few brave males keep watch at the surface. During the late evenings and early morning, the community emerges to graze on tube grass. Dispite being communal creatures, there is a deep seated xenophobia between Rumma groups. "Wars" can occur if foreign Rumma invade another's tube grass field. These fights usually involve lashing out with the claws or attempting to nip one another with the teeth. Dispite their aggressive nature with each other, Rumma are common prey to many species, such as the Vaugus.
