Fuzzies

The Fuzzies are a furry bipedal race, who for a brief period of time dwelt in the lands of Sosaria. Known to be nimble and highly intelligent, the fuzzies appeared only momentarily in the history of the world which would become Britannia, vanishing almost as quickly as they appeared.

Description


The fuzzy race appeared in Sosaria at around the same time that Exodus began to unleash his wrath upon the land. Smaller than dwarves and even bobbits, these tiny simian creatures compensated well for an inherent natural lack of strength, excelling at pursuits both roguish and arcane. Not much else is known about them, as no fuzzies were found in the days that followed the foundation of Britannia.

Centuries later, a similarly diminutive and furred race, known as the emps, appeared in the eastern reaches of the Deep Forest. While near cosmetically identical to the fuzzies, no evidence was ever found to link these two peoples, although it certainly seems possible that the gentle emps possess some shared lineage with these ancient creatures.

Trivia



 * Fuzzies are quite possibly based upon the alien race of the same name (also called Ga'shta) which featured in the H. Beam Piper's science-fiction novel Little Fuzzy and its sequels.
 * Fuzzies appear only in Ultima III and are not mentioned in any other installments of the Ultima series.
