 =====Gerbilfolk=====
-Energetic, long-tailed explorers with big curious eyes and twitchy whiskers, shown in your minis dashing through the forest in colorful tunics and tiny packs. Gerbilfolk are quick-witted burrowers who zip between danger and discovery faster than you can blink.

-====Hyper Twitch Bell====
+====Additional Fine Tuning====
-A jingly ribbon bell you tie to your tail. Once per day, ring it to gain +20 ft. speed for 1 minute… but you lose control and must dash your full movement in a random direction each turn (cliffs and walls beware!).
+  * **Dichromatic vision**. They perceive only ''green and blue''. Anything else is a shade of gray.
+  * **Far Sighted**. The DM may declare some melee combat attacks they make are at disadvantage, but with the understanding that gerbilfolk are supplementing their close up eyesight with keen smell and hearing which may negate any issue. //Situations with overwhelming smells or lots of noise may be what ultimately makes this judgement call happen.//
+  * **Herbivore**. Relevant in civilized dining situations for role playing purposes.
