Editing Ptera-squirrel (section)

== How they came to be ==

Most studies seem to agree that the Ptera-squirrel came from [[Terra]], due to the previously mentioned similarities with the ancient flying squirrel. This would seem like a sensible option due to that species being quite adaptable and, with enough natural selection, evolve quickly into the ptera-squirrel. However, it cannot be confirmed due to the lack of genetic comparison and almost nonexistent records. Another possibility is genetic engineering, though what would be the point of that project is, again, a mystery.

There's also the possibility of slow mutations due to the influence of the [[Warp]]. Considering it has coexisted with Mankind for millenia, and one of its preferred modes of spreading is through human ships, warp capable ships, maybe they've been slowly altered by the mutating effects of the Warp through hundreds of thousands of generations. That would explain the random blood-thirst this species enters once in a while.
