Giant Space Hamster

Space hamsters resemble their terrestrial kin, both in their appearance and general demeanor, and they come in a variety of colors.

Giant space hamsters are cute, plant-eating rodents as big as brown bears. They tend to avoid other creatures, especially threatening ones, but they can be trained to serve as mounts and beasts of burden. Gnomes have tried to build spelljamming ships powered by giant space hamster wheels, so far without success.

The hamsters of Toril were first created by wizards who used magic to shrink giant space hamsters to wee size, leading their creators to refer to them as miniature giant space hamsters.
