A rare species of animal, native to Tasmania. Squilliams walk on 4 legs but are able to sit upright, similar to beavers. However, their walking capabilities are limited when on 2 legs. Squilliams saw vast brutality and oppression following
British colonization of Tasmania, and later through their unfair treatment by the Australian
government.
Before
British hegemony fragmented and destroyed the Squilliam's way of life, they lived free in the vast forests and grasslands. However, following
British colonization of Tasmania in 1803, their habitats were destroyed and many Squilliams were hunted down for their expensive furs. The result was brutal fighting between
British colonizers and guerilla tribes of Squilliams, armed with whatever they could find. At first, the less-equipped Squilliams struggled with their oppressors, who wielded advanced firearms and horses. However, Squilliams were able to make use of their habitat, which the British colonizers were not familiar with. The British
government was no match for these ravenous beasts and were forced to withdraw from the sporadic fighting. Today, Squilliams can once again live free in their homeland and graze on the rich grasses of Tasmania, free from British oppression.
"I'm a fan of Squilliam
meat personally, though it is a
bit too gamey"

Dude, Squilliams are an endangered species, not cool"
