These little creatures can mean many sleepless nights for their magi companions, as they sleep during the day and are active at night. Their loud calls of “waaa” gently awaken you, signaling that it is time to play a rousing game of catch-the-priceless-relic. Red panda hatchlings, like most hatchlings, eat an extraordinary amount of food. Their main meal consists of bamboo, so large bamboo gardens have had to be grown around The Keep. It is thought that their love for this plant is where their name comes from, as the only creatures that loves it so much are the pandas. As they grow, red pandas become even more vigilant, if possible. This causes the other animals around The Keep to tend to avoid them, except for the flying cats, strangely enough. The two often climb trees together, stalking their unsuspecting prey, or make a game out of scaring the elephant snails.
Sweet looking as they are, red pandas can be nasty creatures, and a magi would do well to be aware of their teeth. Found far to the east, these mammals live on bamboo, insects, eggs, and whatever small animals that are foolish enough to wander too near. They make their homes high in the tree tops, and are fiercely protective of their young. It can come as quite a shock to have one of these creatures viciously attack you from above in the middle of the night. To those who have made a red panda their companion, though, they exhibit better natures. Despite their weight, they will climb on your shoulders and lovingly comb through your hair, only occasionally ripping some out. Whatever food you may be eating is assumed to be theirs as well, although they will happily repay you by guarding your door, leaping at any would-be attackers. Though they look quite a bit like the raccoons around The Keep, their beautiful reddish coats and magical abilities mark them as different.
