| Social Organization: | Solitary; the only time skunks are found in groups are while mothers are still raising their young. | |
| Danger Level: | Low (Kits are vulnerable); The skunk is an opportunistic omnivore that will snatch and consume very small kits when given the chance. | |
| Approval Level*: | None; Skunk are common and comfortable with human presence, and require no special approval to appear in RP. | |
| *Some creatures require approval to appear in RP. This is to make sure the Admins and Mods who need to know are fully aware of a beast currently active in their area. These ratings are mainly for those creatures that cats cannot simply drive off. | ||
