You reminded me of the legendary cartoon series Biker Mice from Mars but they look very weak and still need many improvements but a possible race to add to Starbound
Well, damn, I thought this was a new and refreshing idea, but the only thing fresh from this turns out to be 'freshly necromanced'. Oh well. In any case, the idea is still cute, and I want this in mod form. STAT!
Idea to settle the height thing and the tail thing: All the armor and all the default clothes could have a cape. The height could be solved by the fact that they want to fit in, so they wear very high toed/heeled shoes or some other fake extension to their height. But I think they're great, if you tweak them a bit they'd fit in just fine.
