Radioactive Mouse

Overview
The Radioactive Mouse is a relatively common, small creature about the size of your palm(not including tail). It uses uranium and the occasionaly occurring radon to generate heat and energy.

Daily Life
These mice live in burrows deep underground so their radioactivity doesn’t affect any other mammals. They also live far down in order to find minerals to eat. They are almost always eating due to most of their energy going to keeping themselves stable.

When they do go aboveground, they will immediately start looking for minerals and places to hide from predators. If no minerals are present or if they live in a light forest biome, they will start gnawing on plants.

While aboveground, a mouse will raise its crystals to absorb heat. This is not done while predators are nearby due to the crystals being filled with all kinds of nutrients that are needed and the fact that the crystals glow brightly while absorbing heat.

Adaptations

 * Their crystals evolved as a sudden mutation when carbon crystals fused with a mouselike creature.


 * They can make their crystals explode, killing nearby creatures and the mouse itself.
 * Due to the atmosphere of Vispericulum being destructive to fur, the mouse evolved to be smaller.
