Notes 

• Forge Ferrets are elementally touched beasts from the Underdark known to follow groups such as Duergar and Dark Iron dwarves among other groups that are proficient and interested in smithing and other trades that require intense heat. Where there is an underground forge, there is often a ferret curled up near it trying to catch a little ash that the ferret likes to use as part of hits sustenance.
• Obviously resistant to fire and are capable of breathing flame. A forge ferret is often used as a combination of a companion as well as a convenient light source by traveling groups.
• Sometimes known as 'Flamenoodle' due to their slender bodies and sleek agility when they move.
