&&,,,&,&&& ,&,,,&,&,,
,&,,&&&,,, backbone animals. &&,,&&&&,&
&&,&,,&,,, cat-snakes, or so called. ,&,&,,,&&&

&,&,&&&,,& ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the mink ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ,,&&&,&,,&
&&&&,,&,&, ^ ^ ,&,,&&&,&,
,,,&,&&&&, ^ minks, also called the snow ferrets, ^ &&,&,,&&&&
,,&&&,,,&& , make up the "wandering food supply" , ,&&&,&,,,&
,&,,&,,&,& , used by the shamans and underlings , &,,&&&,,&&
&&,&&,&&&& of kirugu vargir. when called upon, &,&,,&,&,&
,&&,&&,,,, they present themselves, and can be &&&,&&&&&,
&,&&,&,,,, caught. ,,&&,,,,&,

,&&,,&,,,, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the marten ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ &&&&,,&,,,
&,&,&&,,,, ^ ^ ,,,&,&&,,,
&&&&,&,,,& ^ the marten is the sneakier one here, ^ ,,&&&,&,,&
,,,&&&,,&, , often used for spying, or stealing. , ,&,,&&&,&,
,,&,,&,&&, , in the older tales about vidmi, , &&,&,,&&&,
,&&,&&&,&, these are probs the ferrets that she ,&&&,&,,&,
&,&&,,&&&& was said to control. this connection &,,&&&,&&,
&&,&,&,,,, might explain why many denizens have &,&,,&&,&&
,&&&&&,,,, this as their main "pet" god. &&&,&,&&,,
&,,,,&,,,, ,,&&&&,&,,
&,,,&&,,,, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the ermine ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ,&,,,&&&,&
&,,&,&,,,, ^ ^ &&,,&,,&&,
&,&&&&,,,, ^ the lusher one in the family is the ^ ,&,&&,&,&&

&,&&,,&,,, , one of the most notable in kirugu , &,&&,&,&&&
&&,&,&&,,, , lore, the otter ferret? it goes in , &&,&&&&,,,
,&&&&,&,,, rivers. there are a lot of ferrets, ,&&,,,&,,&
&,,,&&&,,, but for some reason, this otter one &,&,,&&,&&
&,,&,,&,,& is hardly ever seen. it might be &&&,&,&&,,
&,&&,&&,&, that it is unbound...? ,,&&&&,&,&
&&,&&,&&&, locals use it for sport fishing. ,&,,,&&&&,
,&&,&&,,&& &&,,&,,,&&
&,&&,&,&,& ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the husky ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ,&,&&,,&,&
&&,&&&&&&, ^ ^ &&&,&,&&&,
,&&,,,,,&, , the husky may seem like a dog, but , ,,&&&&,,&&
&,&,,,,&&& , it is actually a kind of ferret. , ,&,,,&,&,&
&&&,,,&,,, this makes it the largest of the &&,,&&&&&,
,,&,,&&,,& phylum, and it's the most recently ,&,&,,,,&&
,&&,&,&,&, evolved as well, bred for use as a &&&&,,,&,&
&,&&&&&&&, predator. it's made more dangerous ,,,&,,&&&&
&&,,,,,,&, by the fact that it's almost ,,&&,&,,,,
,&,,,,,&&, completely unknown to biologists. ,&,&&&,,,&
