This fluff can be a variety of natural colors from white or gray to brown or black, and can even be artificially dyed by whichever pet owner would dye their Raior a different color. They have two large beady eyes that add to its cute appearance, these eyes of which can be multiple colors but often appearing a vibrant hue of amber. Beneath their fluff is a small mouth with flat teeth meant to chew on leaves and twigs, as well as six tiny legs that allow them to scuttle across surfaces - these legs are fitted with tiny grooves that allow for crawling up porous surfaces such as cloth, bark, etc. Behavior: Natural Raiors often have more ragged fur and simply travel about eating leaves and desert twigs, while domesticated Raiors simply act adorable and take food from their owners, as all pets do.
