"Psions" includes all Dragonlands characters who possess psionic abilities. Telebonded (1) to another furre Telebonded (1) to a pet (must buy Pet advantage separately) Telepath (1) can speak mind-to-mind with one other furre, who must also buy this Advantage. Psihealer (1) can transfer the wounds of others onto themselves. 5. Dragonmounts and Scarhawks require their rider to be psionic. The Wyrmmes are the source of the knowledge that Dragonmounts are bonded to their rider in a magical ceremony involving secret music. Furres managed to steal this information forty years ago, and since then, there have been Furre riders of Dragonmounts as well as Scarhawks. 6. About Psion's animals: Amongst Tribesfurres, training and bonding rituals are done by Shamans. (Psion animals do not provide a "telepathic switchboard" service, nor are they ever more intelligent than about a 3-year-old RL human. Perhaps only one in a thousand Psions can link to two Psion creatures; three is not possible. DRACONOIDS --Minidragons are very rare, and about the only thing a Bugge Psion can connect with. Their eggs are precious and they're a bit like cockatoos: They can be friendly but they can also bite. Wyrmmes tend to dislike them because of their use as spies, and in most Wyrmme strongholds, they are shot on sight. When wearing a cloak, they can be smuggled into places they don't belong. --WatchWyrmmes are thought of much like crocodiles. In the wild, they will eat a young Furre, and are often hated. They cannot fly. WatchWyrmmes are blind in daylight, but can get around if guided by their Psion rider. Conversely, they lend their remarkably acute nightvision to their Psion, hence their role as the pets of those who patrol or hunt at night. --Dragonmounts seem related to Minidragons and WatchWyrmmes. They are the preferred aerial steeds of the Wyrmmes, who breed them for war. They do not eat fish; they live on kiwis, or ostrixes. Keeping them is an expensive and/or time-consuming proposition around which the rider's life is soon irrevocably wrapped. Unlike Minidragons and WatchWyrmmes, Dragonmounts are never found in the wild. AVIANS: --Kiwis are usable as Psion pets, but would probably be used as such by somebody very desperate. The odds that such a domesticated food bird would get eaten are high. --Ostrixes are common flightless birds large enough to be ridden. They are so docile that there is probably little advantage as a Psion's pet except perhaps for the use of their sharp eyesight. Although they are of low status amongst Psions, Ostrixes are undeniably the most personable and inexpensive of pets, happy to eat shoots and leaves. --Scarhawks may be found in the wild, where they are at the top of the food chain. In a flock of 2-3, they will tear a furre to pieces. --Raukors are twice the mass of an Ostrix but only a little taller. Like Scarhawks, they are frightening predators, with beaks that can crush a furre's skull like an eggshell. Rare in Kasuria, they form packs and hunt anything that moves above ground and doesn't fly. Their splotched pelts can be made into shields.
