	Ratatosk are tree-dwelling gliders, able to leap wide chasms from branch to branch of Yggdrasil with sure-fooled ease. Ratatosk serve the World Ash as a sort of messenger system, but they are also very antagonistic to anything they feel doesn’t belong in their home tree, such as most planars, especially tieflings, dwarves, and githzerai. They tolerate elves, most Ysgardians, and bariaur, though only just.		Ratatosk are tree-dwelling gliders, able to leap wide chasms from branch to branch of Yggdrasil with sure-fooled ease.

 ==Midgardian Ratatosk==
 In the [[Midgard]] setting by [[Kobold Press]], being it was inspired by [[Norse Mythology]], ratatosk feature as a planar race of gossip-mongers, information brokers, travel guides and general nuisances. Debuting statwise in the [[Tome of Beasts]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], a series of articles have been posted on the Kobold Press website that flesh out their racial lore, including providing a writeup of the ''original'' Ratatosk as a minor god.

	'''Ratatoskr''' is a minor figure in Norse mythology; a giant squirrel who lives in the branches of the [[World Tree]] Yggdrasil and carries insulting messages between Nidhoggr, the dragon gnawing at its root, and the nameless eagle who sits atop its highest branch. It's also the plural for '''Ratatosk''', a species of [[beastfolk\|humanoid flying squirrels]] who inhabit Yggdrasil the World Ash in the [[Great Wheel]]. They were introduced as a minor enemy race in [[Planescape]], and haven't officially appeared since then. Outside of Yggdrasil, they are most commonly found in [[Arborea]] and "sylvan woodlands", so they're arguably also an appropriate fit for the [[Feywild]] or [[Plane of Faerie]].
