==Awakened Ferret==

[[Summary::An Awakened Ferret is a [[SRD:Weasel|ferret]] who has become sentient. These stats can also be used to create awakened weasels.]] If the Awakened Ferret was originally a spellcaster's familiar, they both lose their magical connection, including all benefits with the exception of their [[SRD:Familiars#Empathic_Link|Empathic Link]] and the ability to [[SRD:Familiars#Speak_with_Master|speak with each other]], if the Awakened Familiar wishes. 

===Personality=== <!-- Optional material, please feel free to add or remove anything below this point up until Racial Traits.-->

Most Awakened Ferrets are friendly and sociable.

===Physical Description===

Awakened Ferrets look like ferrets.

===Relations===

Awakened Ferrets get along best with [[SRD:Human|Humans]], who are the most likely race to keep regular ferrets as pets.

===Alignment===

Awakened Ferrets are usually Neutral, with some being Good, and rarely Evil. Awakened Ferrets tend to be chaotic rather than neutral.

===Language===

All Awakened Ferrets understand Common, however they do not speak it. Despite this, they can get their idea across through the [[#Squeaking Speaker|Squeaking Speaker]] ability.

===Names===

Awakened Ferrets usually have already been named before becoming awakened, so they usually keep their original name. Some create surnames for themselves, or use their previous master's surname. Awakened Ferrets who have children give their child a name similar to their own; if the parent was given a pet name like "Fluffy" or "Bubbles", their child has a pet name. If they have an actual name like "Edward" or "Daniel", their child has an actual name. 

===Racial Traits=== <!--Required information below this point.-->

* {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Strength|-4 Strength}}, {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Dexterity|+2 Dexterity}}, {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Charisma|+2 Charisma}}:  Awakened Ferrets are small and weak, but agile and cute.
* [[Type::SRD:Magical Beast| ]][[SRD:Magical_Beast_Type|Magical Beast]]: Awakened Ferrets are considered Magical Beasts because they are an animal with an [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] score higher than 2.
* {{3.5e Racial Size|Small|Awakened Ferret}} 
* Awakened Ferret [[SRD:Base Land Speed|base land speed]] is 20 feet:  <!-- other movement modes and speeds -->
* [[SRD:Low-Light Vision|Low-Light Vision]]: An Awakened Ferret can see twice as far as a [[SRD:Humans (Race)|human]] in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
* [[SRD:Scent|Scent]]: An Awakened Ferret has the ability to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. In addition they can identify familiar odors just as [[SRD:Humans (Race)|humans]] do familiar sights. [[SRD:Scent|More information available here]].
* 1d4+[[SRD:Strength|Str]] Bite attack. This is considered to be a primary natural weapon.
*Attach {{Ex}}: If an Awakened Ferret hits with a bite attack, it uses its powerful jaws to latch onto the opponent’s body and automatically deals bite damage each [[SRD:Round|round]] it remains attached. An attached Awakened Ferret loses its [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|Armor Class]]. An attached Awakened Ferret can be struck with a weapon or [[SRD:Grapple|grappled]] itself. To remove an attached Awakened Ferret through [[SRD:Grappling|grappling]], the opponent must achieve a pin against the creature.
* {{Anchor|Squeaking Speaker}}[[#*|*]] {{Su}}: Despite the fact that their mouth is unsuitable for speaking, they can make their intentions known by [http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?aid=2407 squeaking, whimpering and other sounds].  This has the same range and function as speaking and any person familiar with the awakened ferret understands them perfectly, even though their noises are not any language. The awakened ferret can communicate with strangers as well, but it may require a sense motive check for complex meanings. Spells with vocal components can be cast with ferret sounds. If the Awakened Ferret originally was a spellcaster's familiar, they retain their ability to speak with their master, despite losing all other familiar benefits.
* {{Slight_Build|Awakened Ferret|n}}
