Squonk

Squonks are a race of beast-like beings that originatedin North America, specifically   in the Hemlock forests of northern Pennsylvania,   but have now spread worldwide.

Appearance
Squonks all tend to look like a rather ugly mole/human hybrid, with ill-fitting skin, covered in warts and blemishes, small, watery eyes, long, shovel-like claws, and long snouts. Due to heir rather ugly appearances, they all usually spend most of their time hiding in their burrows and weeping. It is said that the first squonk was an extremely vain man who invoked the ire of a witch that had vied for his affections. Because he refused her, she cursed him by turning him into what she thought to be the epitome of ugliness.

Behavior
Squonks are constantly ashamed about their apearance, so they constantly hide and weep in shame. They live in burrows undeground, where they can hide their shame. Squonks are solitary by nature, however, they can and do mate for life. A female squonk can have litters of 1-6 pups at a time every mating season.

 * Enhanced hearing: Squonks are able to pick up sounds with amazing clairity, distance, and detail, even so much as pick up sounds beyond the mundane range.
 * Enhanced smell: Squonks are able to detect specific objects, persons, places, and even substances, locate their origins, and even track, with nothing but their sense of smell.
 * Enhanced touch: Squonks have exceptionally good senses of touch, allowing them to detect specific persons, places, objects, and even substances just by using the tips of their fingers.
