Appearance

Amere are small, compact creatures around the size a rabbit. While their fur color remains on the neutral side, ranging from browns to creams and black, they are known to have exotic patterns. They walk on their four little legs on land, using their back hind legs to hop forward and their front paws to land. Amere have two bird-like wings located on the middle of their back, each slightly smaller in size that the Amere’s actual body.

Abilities

Amere are known for being incredibly quick. They are able to outmaneuver most predators to escape, causing frustration to the predator. They are more than capable of reproducing in short periods of time, so it is best to keep them separate if taken in as a pet. While their wings seem a bit small for their size, amere are perfectly capable of flight in order to escape predators.

Culture

These small creatures dwell in forest undergrowth near open meadows and glens. They make their nests deep within bramble bushes and thickets, weaving them out of sticks and leaves and blanketing them with grasses and leaves. They spend their days frolicking in the meadows, grazing on all manners of plants in large groups, taking turns to keep watch for predators.

If the alarm is sounded, which is a series of quick, shrill chirps, amere are quick to retreat into their nests in the thick undergrowth.

They live in large groups, called a scree, and pairs mate for life. Their mating ritual is simple: males will leap high into the air and flash their plumage to impress females. The male with the highest jump wins. Occasionally it will come to blows, but these scuffles rarely end in serious injury.

Because of their beautiful patterns and gentle demeanor, amere make popular pets for children and families alike.
