- General behavior: In the wild, racyon generally keep to themselves and will only attack if they are threatened. When faced with a larger or stronger foe, the racyon will try to flee or hide first. Domesticated racyon carry these similar traits, and are known to display a range of personalities similar to house cats (lazy, aggressive, sweet, etc.). All racyon have a love of food and a curious nature, which occasionally leads to mischeif.
Native to Ukatis, the racyon are a semi-sentient species of mammal that have an appearance between a dog and a fox. These small, thickly furred creatures make their home in temperate, forested areas where they live in packs. Racyon have an intense affinity for food and will eat nearly anything, which have lead to groups of racyon raiding unsecured garbage deposits. With their opposable thumbs and mischevious mannerisms, these little beasts have been known to break into chicken coops and other areas secured by basic physical locks in order to feast.
Perhaps their most prized trait is a racyon's precognitive abilities. When bonded closely with another sentient, be they racyon, human, or alien, the racyon can share their visions of the future. These visions are ususally breif, lasting only a few seconds, and can display both the mundane and the useful. Racyon have been able to warn their owners of impending dangers such as a barn collapse, or share their foresight of rain. Still, many racyon have used this ability to share predictions of their empty food bowls.
Because of this, some zoologists have argued that racyons may display full sentience, and are pushing for the species to be reclassified accordingly.
