Ti Etro, Vytra and beyond! This next post introduces a creature which lives mainly in Eastern Vytra woodlands. The boquim (boe-quimm) is a furry critter with (yes, unlikely as it may seem), six feet. It has sort, small legs and a round body, a furry tail, strawberry-shaped face, and tufted ears. Their paws are usually concealed under the body as shown in the upper right diagrams above. When they want to run or walk quickly, their paws come out and can be seen. 
Also, their fur extraordinarily changes color according to their moods. 
Grey = Sleeping
Red = Angry
Green = Sick
Blue = Sad
Yellow = Confused or curios
Black = Bitter, grumpy, or gruding
White = Frightened or afraid
Pink = Embarrassed or shy
Purple = In love
Brown = Cheerful or pleased
Orange = Begging, pouting, or whining
Gold = Content and at rest
Silver = Tense or anxios
Turquoise = Blissful or wonderfully joyful
Tan = Surprised or shocked

Those are all the basic boquim colors, even though when going through more than one emotion their fur can become dappled or start changing colors confusingly. Boquims are talking creatures and have often said how annoying it is to hardly ever be able to hide your feelings. 
Some older and very experienced boquims can change color with difficulty to hide emotions or camouflage from predators. Predators which hunt the boquim include weasels, martins, stoats and ferrets, ilkrass and snakes, bobcats and eagles. 
Boquim live in shady, fertile woodlands or fields and make their nests in tall grass, hidden from view.  Their diet consists of plants, leaves, and bark, and sometimes insects. These six-legged mammals make great pets and are friendly and unafraid of any who do not plan to eat them.
