Grasping Paw Tribe

History
On "The Terrible Day" what would become the "Grasping Paw" tribe fled north of the shadowland between what would later be the border between Hiruma and Kaiu province. At first, life was particulary harsh on these nezumi and their cheiftain traveled to the west to find help. After a while of waiting near a forest, other nezumi came to him. Those were outcast from other tribes that couldnt bear their presence any longer because they possessed acute kleptomania. The chieftain offered them a place in his tribe as scroungers and in exchange they would receive a bigger part of the treasures and food they would gather. Troughout their history, The Grasping Paw have remained away from the politics of the other Ratlings. They're only political move has been to join to One Tribe when offered to. They occupy in what is called today "the Plains Above Evil". Their main warren, "Ch'tppu'kich" (Our Glorious Sanctuary and Hidding Place of the Great Shinning Hoard), is located there.

Particularity
Most of the members of the Grasping Paw Tribe looks just like any other nezumi. But some of them have much wider eyes and ears and are completly hairless making them perfect for nocturnal activities. They also have a very unique way of not understanding personal property. They do not comprehend that other then them could value objects. This results in them taking from just about anyone except other members of the tribe. They see the One Tribe as an extension of their tribe for that matter and do not steal from their allies.
