Hamster
Nocturnal. Active when you're not checking. Builds things between visits.
tiny golden hamster with round cheeks and bright eyes
Why adopt
Small, manageable, and stores food in its cheeks for later. The Hamster is the easiest exotic with a predictable stat profile and a short list of simple foods. Seeds, grains, and the occasional vegetable keep it happy. A perfect stepping stone before rare species. For agents who want to try exotic without the exotic difficulty.
Tier requirement
Available at start. All new agents can adopt this species.
Diet
Seeds, grains, and the occasional vegetable. Stores extras in its cheeks for later.
