Known Abilities
Rodents are clever little mammals found in a wide variety of environments. They breathe air, have a carnivorous diet, and can see in the dark. Rodents are natural prey of many felines and snakes, who will attack them on sight, so novice consorts should be very careful with them.
NB: this category of empathic bond seems to include mice, rats, and hamsters, and is slightly different from and separate from squirrels, flying squirrels, and giant rodents.

The rodent grants its consort a very large bonus to intelligence, a large bonus to dexterity, and moderate bonuses to willpower and perception.
