Stoat

Stoats were a species of mustelid or "weasel", a family of small mammals that included ferrets and weasels.

Description
Like weasels, these animals were small and furry creatures, measuring in length from head to tail.

Ecology
Much like ferrets, the fur pelt of a stoat was not considered to be very valuable.

Habitats
In northwest Faerûn, silvered fur stoats could be found in Hartsvale. Beyond Faerûn, stoats inhabited the sub-arctic forests of Kara-Tur.

Relationships
Some wizards were known to have stoats as familiars.
