ScurrierBiomorph [Pod, Exotic/Xenogenic]All pods are niche, but the Scurrier pod is even more niche than most pods, since it belongs to a class of pods that are referred to as "Xenogenic" pods. These are pods that are derived from alien organisms; often extant alien organisms since reverse engineering dead ones into pods, while not possible, doesn't have the utility that using live ones does. Live species allows for individuals to blend into the local ecology unnoticed, especially if the pod is good enough to replicate scent profiles. Sometimes, individuals simply want to experience world from the perspective of an alien creatures, which can be any combination of delightful and distressing depending on who one is talking too - usually the latter, given these pods have only been around since the Storm Period and as a result, are barely into their fourth or fifth generation.
The Scurrier pod is a pod that uses genetics derived from a collection of marsupial-squirrel-like organisms. They are raccoon-sized with a lash-like manipulator tail and transgenic hands instead of front paws. They are excellent climbers and retain their species capability of gliding. There are two variants; the basic quadruped variant, and a hexapod variant, which adds Extra Legs (4) [5] and is closer to the original evolutionary pattern for the pod. Interesting facts
