Stoats are moderately common in the west, being in most biomes (with obvious exceptions, such as Mordor). They run very fast and have four hitpoints. They will attack and very likely kill rabbits, birds on the ground, mice and rats. They deal one damage per hit. However, they will not attack a player under any circumstances. They can be tamed, with a bit of raw chicken. When they stay, they will always run to attack the aforementioned prey animals, and then return to its stop location when the prey dies or it moves outside of a fifteen block radius of its stay point. Stoats drop stoat fur when they die, which is very low quality. A few types of traders will buy a stoat pelt for a very low sum, and may sell it for a similar amount. In Forodwaith, there live ermine. They live in the further northern reaches, where they are plentiful. The journey is perilous and the furs are very high quality, so certain traders will pay an arm and a leg for just the one pelt. Ermine act exactly like normal stoats, yet they do not get cold damage. I would also like to propose, with this, a new NPC, akin to the oddment collector, called a fur trapper. This chap shares the name bank and general habits with the oddment collector, however, he sells fur only. Things such as Warg fur, ermine and stoat pelts. Finally, both varieties of stoat fur can be crafted into armour. Normal stoat fur armour provides no armour, and very slight cold resistance. Ermine fur armour gives you very slight armour and very high cold resistance. That is a great suggestion, but I think it would be better to give it its own page. I would do that, but I will not unless this one is put into the mod, seeing as it isn't guaranteed that this will be added.
