L5r The Nezumi Chibis

Nezumi were one of the other races that walked Ningen-do after the Naga entered their slumber and before the fall of the Kami. Ratlings appeared as furry bipeds, roughly mansized, with pink tails and the heads of rodents. They were double-jointed and were capable of dislocating their shoulders and hips, allowing them to crawl through any opening that could pass their head. Nezumi had excellent senses of smell and exuded pheromones
from glands near their tails in order to convey scent messages to their kin. They were extremely resistant to corruption and disease. Their lifetime was between twenty-five to thirty-five years. They were notorious for their short attention spans and lack of long-term memory.
