Krautigel (Krou-tee-gel; Kraut = Herb, Igel = Hedgehog)

Hedgehog-like Wesen that have a congenital connection with the natural world, making them skilled herbalists and chefs. They are often small, nearsighted and easily impressed. Shy and peaceful, Krautigel tend to stay close to their families and homes, and abhor violence, but will fiercely defend a threatened loved one. Krautigel cannot swim and are terrified of large bodies of water.
