Weaselwail

Scientific Name: Mustela ululatus (unconfirmed)
Common Name: Weaselwail
Classification: Small Carnivorous Fauna — Exotic Realm Pack Predator

Description:
Weaselwails are small, alabaster-furred carnivores resembling weasels or stoats, but with faintly glowing eyes and elongated limbs. They hunt in coordinated packs, communicating via high-pitched, eerie howls that echo across the grasslands, unnerving all who hear them.

Known Effects on Humans:
Their bite induces creeping numbness, disorientation, and vivid hallucinations involving endless chases through mirrored landscapes.
Victims often suffer psychological trauma manifesting as recurring nightmares or paranoia.
Encountering a pack is often a precursor to disappearances or unexplained deaths in border regions.
Known to invade human settlements at night, preying on vulnerable individuals.

Behavioral Notes:
Weaselwails are highly social and use pack tactics to isolate and overwhelm prey.
They can climb and navigate mirrored or glassy surfaces, giving them advantage in the Pale Country’s terrain.
Vocalizations serve to confuse and disorient prey before attack.

Warnings / Dangers:
Group attacks are deadly; victims are often incapacitated before final assault.
Avoid nocturnal travel in areas known for Weaselwail presence.
Use of noise-emitting devices or wards to disrupt their communication is advised.
Physical traps are unreliable due to their agility and intelligence.
