THE SHARPCLAW IS ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN AND MOST FEARED OF ALLmice, due to the huge dagger-like claws on its front paws. These claws are almost as long as the mouse itself, and are capable of slicing through wood and metal with effortless ease. The size of its claws doesn’t seem to hinder it, however, as the Sharpclaw has evolved strong hind legs to compensate, allowing it to run almost upright.
Throughout history, Sharpclaws have always proved problematic to humans, and the land of their origin — the isle of Umber in the South Seas — is now little more than a barren lump of rock due to the mouse’s propensity for destroying anything in its path.
MOUSING NOTES
It takes a particularly strong mousebox or cage to contain a Sharpclaw, and in view of this, only the most fearless of collectors or hunters should attempt to keep or catch one. Due to mousing regulations, the species requires an expensive license to be kept in captivity because of its ferocity. Therefore, Sharpclaws are only suitable for rich collectors with more money than sense.
