Editing Ptera-squirrel (section)

== Behavior ==

Ptera-squirrels are scavengers by nature. They are quite the opportunists, munching on anything that might feed them. Like the rodents of old, the ptera-squirrels reproduce like crazy, having numerous offspring in relatively short breeding cycles, and this and their ability to sneak around in human ships makes them quite able to infest their living spaces in no time. As such, they seem to be a prime candidate to drive other species away once they reach a new planet. While Ptera-squirrels seem to be relatively peaceful creatures most of the time, once in a while ptera-squirrels will give birth a generation much more aggressive than the ones before. They will [[Khorne|crave for blood]], and [[Red Thirst|will attack anyone and anything that might have it]], like some form of [[Blood Angels|vampire squirrels]]. These sudden periods are incredibly dangerous for those spaces affected, especially closed spaces such as the cargo bay of a ship, where they can use their small size, numbers and blood-thirst to wreak havoc upon the workers there. And, just as fast as it came, that rage will disappear and the ptera-squirrels will go back to their seemingly peaceful ways.

As you can imagine, this makes the ptera-squirrels to be considered as pests to be eradicated, though considering the amount of danger the galaxy has on a regular basis, dealing with these rodents is probably quite easy.
