Energetic, long-tailed explorers with big curious eyes and twitchy whiskers. Gerbilfolk are quick-witted burrowers who zip between danger and discovery faster than you can blink. Think enlarged slightly humanoid gerbil person. They've entered this campaign as part of a set of homebrew Animalfolk with the first player character example being Marion.

• Creature Type: Humanoid
• Size: Small (average 1-2 feet tall - see Small Size Rule)
• Speed: 35 feet
• Languages: Common and Sylvan suggested.
• Nimble Scrambler: You have a climbing speed of 15 feet.
• Prey Initiative: You are proficient in the Perception skill and add your proficiency bonus to initiative rolls. This is due to being a kind of creature that's typically prey. Don't miss this bonus if you're playing as a gerbilfolk!
• Darkvision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light (shades of gray only).

• 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.
