	''' Fire-Breathing Phase Doppelganger Giant Space Hamster:''' If it's not bad enough that you have a giant hamster that can spit fire and shift between the [[Prime Material]] and the [[Ethereal Plane]] at will, but then you also give it the ability to shapeshift into any other "bear-sized mammal" as well as remarkably high intelligence for an animal (Int 5-7). Once again: gnomes are ''idiots''.

	'''Tyrannohamsterus Rex:''' There are some things that should bleedingly obvious. Such as, for example, taking the giant space hamster, already a neurotically timid and docile beast, and bulking it up into a 25' tall, 75 ton monster without augmenting its courage is a bad idea that should be avoided. Fucking gnomes. Still, at least the panicked rampages of the tyrannohamsterus rex annihilated the gnomish colony where it was bred, so they should be a dying race.

	'''Giant Space Hamster of Ill Omen:''' This final strain is a beast of legend. Indeed, stories say there is only one such brute, a creature known and feared amongst gnomekind as "Wooly Rupert". Bigger even than a Tyrannohamsterus Rex, ~~Wooly~~ Rupert is said to possess a genius level intellect, a mastery of arcane magic, and a burning hatred of gnomes. The stories say that he has his own spelljammer, which he uses to scour wildspace, dreaming of annihilating all minoi everywhere. If these tales are true, then ~~Wooly~~ Rupert is good people.

	Whilst the aforementioned are the strains mechanically different enough to the standard giant space hamster to warrant discussion, the fact is that breeding new subspecies of giant space hamster is something of a fixation amongst spacefaring gnomes. Most of the time, however, all you have is a cosmetic reskin of the standard giant space hamster. Known examples of these "lesser" strains include the ~~wooly~~, mottled, ochre, Oriental, Occidental, ~~chartreus~~, spotted, not-quite-so-spotted, only-a-little-spotted, plaid, cave-~~dwellin g~~, ~~trhee~~-toed, lesser, greater, greater lesser, lesser greater, albino, and flightless giant space hamsters.

+As critters, giant space hamsters are basically hamsters... but giants! They can be found anywhere that the [[Tinker Gnome]] menace has spread to, and whilst they are usually kept in huge gnomish hamster ranches, the usual minoi competence has seen plenty of them escape into the wild. And, as giant space hamsters can produce several litters of 1d4 young a year from the age of 2 until they die of old age around 18, wild populations can potentially explode... luckily, the massive array of predators endemic to worlds in the D&D [[multiverse]] means their population is kept readily in check. Of course, it helps that they are cowardly and all but incapable of defending themselves, resorting to biting in only the most extreme circumstances, such as a female defending her litter. As a result, any medium-sized or bigger carnivore treats a giant space hamster warren as an easy dining spot.
