Pichidi

The pichidi is an adorable bundle of floof that, depending on who you ask, has absolutely no right to exist on whatever being you worship's green Rathnir. However, they are undeniably adorable and are some of the sweetest animals in Plagos.

History
The pichidis came about when Luna Maris Argentea pulled a few to many all-nighters fueled by sugar-highs in a row and decided to play god. The result of mixing together a few dozen chinchillas, deer antlers, and alpaca fleece were the pichidis. She was a bit too sleep deprived to remember exactly how she did it, but by the time she passed out there were enough pichidis for a steady breeding population. She only knows, and has assured people many time, no chinchillas were harmed in the process. Luckily enough, the pichidi turned out to be naturally domesticated and have a temperament well suited to being kept as a pet, so they proceeded to become very popular as such in the area that is now the Kingdom of Myrtana.

Behavior
Pichidis are generally friendly towards humans unless given reason to be otherwise, and are very mild tempered in most cases. Much like the domestic dog and cat, pichidis can have varying personalities, but they tend to have easily manageable energy levels, making them a popular pet for the elderly. They display parental behavior towards both their own young and infants of other species to an average degree. Pichidis are typically very affectionate, and, strangely enough, purr like cats when happy as well as making little chirping sounds when they are curious.

Appearance
Befitting their origins, pichidis look like small fluffy deer with chinchilla shaped heads, tails, and ears. They come in a wide variety of colors, and, once a way to ethically and easily modify this species was discovered, various pichidi breeders began creating various mutations and new features, the most popular of which by far being wings.

Trivia

 * "Designer" pet pichidi are all the rage amongst the Myrtanan middle and upper class, and as such being a pichidi breeder is a highly profitable career choice.
 * Their shed hairs are incredibly soft and can be woven into a pleasant feeling fabric much like wool.
