General Description[]
The Longflank Hare is an exceedingly common animal found throughout Fastheld and the Wildlands. Considered a pest, it is often responsible for damaging farmer's crops as much as it is responsible for being a favored addition to stews and soups. Generally undomesticated, no real effort has been made to try to farm the hare - their numbers simply make the effort not entirely worthwhile.
The Hare's fur is prized for its warmth, and its meat has a surprisingly delicate flavor. Rumors persist that its ears and hindfeet are lucky charms, often carried by those wishing just a bit of an edge.
Hunted Object Description[]
A long-eared quadraped mammal covered in gray and brown fur, with paddle-shaped back feet that give it remarkable leaping ability in life.
Habitat and Habits[]
The Longflank Hare ranges just about everywhere there's a decent hiding spot and food to eat; it is often seen and quick to flee at the approach of any predator.
Unusually, the Longflank Hare is one of the fastest animals in Fastheld when at a full run, but it cannot maintain its top sprint for very long. Regardless, hunters have noted a hare outdistancing a Rock Wolf in full sprint in the deepwoods.
General Behavior[]
Timid and shy, the Hare will only bite or fight when caught and unable to escape, fleeing at all opportunities. Excellent hearing and a sense of smell, along with its speed, serve as its only real defense.
