The leet is one of the most beloved animals on Rubi-Ka.
Nary a day goes by that I do not see a settler running
around with a matched pair of Leet plush dolls, nor
someone being asked to be polymorphed into a leet. Leets
are small rodent-like creatures, a seeming cross between
a raccoon and a mole, leets are lacking in one major
feature: arms. These sweet little animals are almost
never aggressive (see note below), and are typically
only fought by the newest settlers as they get their
feet wet on Rubi-Ka. Leets are used by Omni-Tek only
in the last stages of terraforming, to give the planet
in question a true food web and an appearance of "being
alive."
Also, these creatures are sometimes known to get into
a festive, holiday spirit. For each of the ancient
"Christmas" celebrations of the past 100 years, strange
little leets named Santa Leets have been bringing odd
little trinkets to the settlers of Rubi-Ka.
It should also be noted that there are several named
leets who are indeed aggressive, regardless of the level
of the human they encounter. These leets are generally
stronger, faster, and more durable than the average
leet, and will frequently drop precious, rare items
as a reward for defeating them.
