-Karrson Clan Sentient: Fuzzle-
Fuzzles are, arguably, the cutest Karitzuians in the entire Galaxy. It is said that they use their cuteness powers to avoid predators, manipulate their enemies, and usurp their allies; all of this isn't actually true (except maybe that first part), but cuteness certainly has an impact on any creature that sees a Fuzzle.
Cuteness aside, Fuzzles live rather peacefully on their home planet. Originating from the continent "Fuznen", which is primarily boreal and rainy woodland, the Fuzzles advanced at their own pace until the Arokians - with collaboration from the Shonokalatians - discovered them and placed an outpost on their world. Unlike some of the other races that were discovered, who often choose to not become too absorbed in the advanced technology of their discoverers, the Fuzzles promptly started trading with the newcomers, mostly interested in the array of new food and medicine that came pouring through. A rather sociable race, it wasn't too hard to become allies with the little balls of fluff. |

Appearance and Biology
Fuzzles greatly resemble Earth long-haired cats, with four legs, a tail, and a rounded head with a short muzzle and two pointed ears; however, two features that stick out are their abnormally-large eyes and two stubby arms. Unlike their four-toed feet, the arms have only three claws - two fingers and an opposable thumb - and are just barely long enough to touch the ground. Their large eyes are useful for seeing in the dark, though they seem to do better at spotting details rather than having night vision, so it's questionable if this is their only purpose. Other than that, Fuzzles don't vary much in appearance when compared to a Turkish Angora or a Norwegian Forest Cat, though for the winter they will hibernate until spring, since the winters on Fuznen are very wet and cold.
Variations:
There are three different Fuzzle morphs, labeled according to color: whites, greys, and blacks. Not much varies between these morphs other than color, diet, and preferred climate; they are presumed to all be slightly different "evolutions" of Fuzzles, similar to races on Earth. While there is racism among the Fuzzles it's mostly in the form of subconscious desires to be with like colors and awkwardness over clashing customs due to varied diets/habitats; the difference of opinion is usually exhibited passive-aggressively and socially, though more aggressive Fuzzles can easily force their way into differing villages if they want to.

- White Fuzzles are - evidently - white-furred, and have cyan eyes with more rounded pupils. They are herbivorous, living mostly in the warmer parts of Fuznen in dome homes made of leaves and mud. White Fuzzles are the most gregarious, though this does mean that gossiping and rumors can go too far at times.
- Grey Fuzzles can have any shade of grey for their fur depending on their lineage, though just like any other Fuzzle they are solidly-colored. They have green eyes, and can have any pupil shape between round and slitted, also depending on their lineage. Grey Fuzzles will mingle with other Fuzzle villages, though they prefer warmer climates and, interestingly enough, more open spaces. It's debated if Grey Fuzzles are some sort of long-present hybrid created between White and Black Fuzzles, or if their genes are simply easier to sway due to parent variations, making individuals more unique. Regardless, Grey Fuzzles aren't overly sociable but are still very sweet, though they tend to be shyer than the other Fuzzle types. They commonly live as vagabonds, accepting of any shelter.
- Black Fuzzles can be either black or a very dark shade of grey, and have yellow eyes with slitted pupils. They aren't as social as the other Fuzzle types, though compared to other Karitzuians they are still gregarious creatures. Black Fuzzles, due to their coloration absorbing more energy from sunlight, can live in colder regions than Grey and White Fuzzles. They are carnivorous, spending their time hunting smaller animals and fish rather than foraging for berries, nuts, or vegetables. Their homes are similar to White Fuzzle domes but tend to be subterranean to preserve heat over the winter.
Trivia
- Fuzzles were one of the first Karrson creatures made, prompting the creation of the Clan.
- Fuzzles are well-known Karitzuians, partly in due to the Karrson Clan leaders consistently being Fuzzles (all White Fuzzles until Leik's reign, who was a Black Fuzzle).
- Originally there were only White and Black Fuzzles; the Grey Fuzzle was added in later as a mediator between the skirmishes the two would end up in.
- Fuzzles are notoriously lazy, and will gladly play the role of an "intelligent companion" (basically a pet that talks) for other races since they know they're so cute. These Fuzzles do end up with larger egos than their independent counterparts, however.
- Fuzzle homes are called "globes", and Fuzzle groups are called "flocks".
- Fuzzles tend to choose fleeing over fighting, since they aren't as tough as other Karitzuians. This is shown through the Karrson leaders' tendencies to try negotiation rather than jumping straight to conflict.
- Fuzzles are rather quiet, only making noise (fittingly, their natural voice consists of squeaks) if agitated or otherwise prompted. Their language is similar, being mostly interpretative based upon body language rather than actual sounds, though their spoken language is noted to generously use vowels in each word. Fuzzles will approach other races in this same manner, usually confusing them due to the lack of intelligent communication until the Fuzzle becomes frustrated by them.
