Social Organization: Cinereus Shrews are mostly solitary, coming across each other once in a while, but forming no sophisticated social groups.
Approval Level*: None; All shrews are common animals that do not affect gameplay drastically.
Kill Difficulty: Low; Shrews are small, defenseless creatures that can be killed in one practiced bite.
Hunting Difficulty: General; Though quick and energetic, shrews are not difficult to hunt and do not require any hunting specialities that must be separately trained.
Food Quality: Medium; While the flesh of a shrew is rich due to their protein heavy diet, their size restricts the value of them as food.
*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 species currently active in their area.
These ratings are mainly for those creatures that are uncommon or pose a threat of some sort to the cats.
