They are easily recognizable for their large fluffy tails that curl around them at night. The original colonists called them “night puffs” for their pillow-like appearance in trees and tall shrubs. Combine biologists renamed them after discovering their more unusual trait. Theses “lightning squirrels” have a bioelectric gland that dispenses a nasty shock to predators who grab the pachirisu’s tail. A single shock is enough to stagger a human; two can send a human into unconsciousness or even stop the heart. In the wild, pachirisu travel in small packs of five to seven, usually a mix of adults and juveniles. They are not territorial but rove large areas in search of food, shelter, and attention. They are easily domesticated and are a popular pet on Hachiman and several other populous Combine worlds, though laws dictate such house pets have their shock glands removed. Because of their high energy and short attention span, however, pachirisu are mischievous and destructive. They are known to eat communication wires, insulation, +and other small electronic equipment. A popular yakuza initiation rite called sorera wo subete shutokushimasu (get them all) involves chasing a pack of pachirisu in an enclosed and low-light area. Initiates must catch as many pachirisu as possible in five minutes; their success is determined by how entertaining they are to the observers. The rite found its way into lower-class neighborhoods as a form of urban sport. It is not unusual for area medical care centers to treat a number of younger adults over the course of a holiday for “puffball shock” injuries. +Home world: Hachiman +Preferred environment: +Forest, Urban +Type: Native +Body Shape: Four-legged +Coloring: Dusky yellow, black or brown spots +Length: 60 cm +Height: 20 cm +Weight: 7 kg
