Juvenile River Otter

While the river otters found in the Castoran inland appear paradisiacal, don't let their charm disarm you! I suspect that they've adapted to the richly magical ecosystem and have become adept at maneuvering the numerous predators found across the island. They tend to linger near the riverside in broods, giving them quick access to the complex channel system. One swipe from their tail and you may find yourself debilitated and vulnerable. —Acht
