Description[edit]

Surats bear many resemblances to small primates with bat-like wings. Covered in fur with red and white strips on their face, they possess a long prehensile tail. Their diet consists of fruits, insects, or other small food they scrounge. Intelligent and highly domesticated, they are often kept as pets or to control pests.[3][1][4]

Because of their overwhelming cuteness, voracious appetite, and ability to open food storage containers, their name has become an epithet throughout Clan Homeworlds and the Occupation Zones.[1]
