The Common Rock Scittle

The Common Rock Scittle was created by /u/Hudmaster.

Physical Description
A small rodent, similar in build to a mouse, that is named for the surprisingly durable shell that covers and protects its back. The shell is similar in color and shape to the rocks of the habitat in which the rock scittle lives, allowing the rodent to quickly conceal itself using camouflage when in danger. The rest of the rock scittle's fur is start-white, making it easy to locate from the side or below.

Domesticity
Naturally a wild creature, but is taken as a pet in some cases. Rarely thrives in a caged environment, life span is often shortened to 9-X months.

Diet
As an herbivore, the rock scittle feeds on the leafy flora of its habitat, as well as berries, such as the Honeyberry Flower, if found in the vicinity.

Habitat
The rock scittle primarily lives in environments in which it can take advantage of its natural camouflage, such as mountain sides or rock fields. Pack can sometimes be found in the plains of Everld, though they are relatively uncommon.
