Hoodsies are naturally shy and skittish animals. They tend to be very cautious of others, as well as rather mischievous. Their diets consist of almost entirely of berries and fruits, though these jungle dwellers are none to eat bugs and small animals as well. They are generally nocturnal, awaking at the evening and usually retreating to their homes at sunrise. Their preferred homes are on the ground in small nests and burrows. Hoodsies have a large interest with human culture, and if there is civilization nearby, they will often bring things like magazines, blankets, toys and such into their nests.
With their long, lean legs, hoodsies can run at remarkable speeds, and use their highly advanced sense of hearing and echolocation to see, as the hoods that grown on them, blind them completely. They can only see through their hoods in the dark, and even then, their vision is severely flawed. These creatures are very timid and tentative, and will often flee at the sight of danger almost immediately. They also tend to be rather moody and ill-tempered. One of the best ways to calm an angered hoodsie is to play soothing music at a low volume. Hoodsies adore music, and their adept hearing makes them easily influenced by the sounds of their environment.
A hoodsie is born with it's hoodie from birth, though when it is a newborn, the material is often very thin and pale. The patterns and color of the hoodie will develop and blossom with age. Hoodsies often live with their immediate families until they find a mate. Then, they will leave their parents and siblings to form their own family. Packs consisting of more than just their immediate family members are not common at all, and are generally only reported in that of the northern hoodsie. Hoodsies can live anywhere with a temperate climate, though generally forests, meadows and occasionally rainforests are their preferred homes. To keep a hoodsie comfortable, be sure to always keep it cool and dry.
