Neosuris

Neosuris is a fictional genus of rodent-like creatures, primarily used in fantasy and science fiction settings. Often described as small, furry, and possessing enhanced senses or psychic abilities, Neosuris are typically depicted as being native to harsh environments, such as arid deserts or frozen tundra. They may be solitary or live in complex social structures, depending on the particular fictional universe. Neosuris sometimes play a role as familiars or companions to magic users or explorers, valued for their resilience, intelligence, or unique abilities. The etymology of the name suggests "new shrew" or "new rodent," implying a relatively recent evolutionary origin within their respective fictional ecosystems, or perhaps suggesting a human-centric view of their classification. Variations in depiction include differences in size, coloration, diet, and overall behavior, making them a versatile creature for worldbuilding.
