Musteli Morphic

Basic Information

Anatomy

Bipedal. Six toes are not as rare in Musteli as they are in other Morphics.

Genetics and Reproduction

Musteli Morphics can reproduce with any of their fellow Musteli. Offspring are only of the parents types-- Musteli do not hybridize within the Morphic family.

Ecology and Habitats

Musteli are capable of living just about anywhere. Their adaptability has helped them survive through rough times as a whole-- notoriously, an indigenous nation of Gulo Musteli managed to survive through a time of plague while those around them who had settled the alpine territory died to sickness and infighting. 
Lutra have an instinctual draw to the sea, but they are capable of tamping this down in modern days.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They can eat just about anything!
With the exception of rotting meat (for all species other than Gulo), Musteli are capable of eating a wide variety of foods.

Biological Cycle

Not all subspecies experience changes with the seasons: as a general rule, Mellis, Meles and Lutra Morphics do not experience adaptations to seasons.
Gulo Musteli become patchier in the winter and fall, white and cream beginning to overpower their coat while they become stockier and put on weight for the winter.
Mustela can either go pure white in the winter or experience no change.
In the summer, Musteli experience a change where their ears flare out (in all types but Lutra) to better shed heat in hot months.

Behaviour

Musteli have a reputation for being rowdy and troublesome, but this is mostly plain old stereotyping. 
Prey instincts do exist within the smaller Musteli subtypes.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Musteli Morphics are further divided into six subtypes-- Gulo, Lutra, Meles, Mustela, Martes, and Mellis.
Musteli Morphics are capable of interbreeding with all other Musteli.

Civilization and Culture

Common Myths and Legends

There are prevalent legends of Musteli bringing down Leo Felids with little more than base tenacity. 
Several myths exist with regards to Meles as well-- in particular, their ferocity in the battlefield.
