Insect-like creature native to Khula ( Vland / Vland 1920), the shuulamane was accidentally introduced to Vland ( Vland / Vland 1717) around -2450. The animal is now so common (and so obvious when encountered) that most Vilani do not realize that the shuulamane is not a native species.
The creature is ugly and rodent-like, with dull greenish-gray fur covering its body, except for the head, which is smooth and has no apparent ears. The most obvious feature of the shuulamane is the product of its two powerful scent glands, used to mark carrion and prevent other species from interfering with its find.
Unfortunately, the shuulamane reproduces quickly, with up to four litters of six to ten young each during Vland's (Vland / Vland 1717) long year. The shuulamane can be found in almost every region of Vland (Vland / Vland 1717) with a temperate climate, although eradication of the species in the larger cities has been mostly successful.
The shuulamane is the subject of many Vilani proverbs and folktales, all attesting to the animal's vices of stupidity, laziness, cowardice, foul odor, and lack of cleanliness.
