Muskrats were a small species of rodent.[1]

Ecology[]

Habitats[]

In northwest Faerûn, muskrats could be found in the wilderness of Icewind Dale.[3] In interior Faerûn, muskrats could be found in the Farsea Marshes and the Marsh of Tun.[4]

Beyond Faerûn, muskrats could be found in the arctic plains of the Endless Wastes[5] and on the Malatran Plateau.[6]

Relationships[]

Muskrats were known to act as servants of the deity Thoth.[7]

Rangers that were specialized in traversing swamps sometimes had muskrats as animal companions.[2]

Usages[]

Some creatures were known to kill muskrats for their pelts. These generally sold for around five silver pieces.[1] Lulleth, a type of thick elven stew, was sometimes made with muskrat meat.[8]

In Mirabar, the Sign of the Forgehammer inn sometimes served its patrons muskrat meat as a side.[9]
