Always dwelling near bodies of water, capybaras
are excellent swimmers. They are so at home in the water that
they can even sleep while submerged, with only their noses
above the surface.
Capybaras are the world’s largest natural rodents, slightly
larger even than the giant rats that plague city sewers.
However, any sane adventurer would rather encounter a horde
of capybaras than even a single feral rat, since capybaras are
friendly and harmless.
Capybaras live in large family groups, ranging in size from
as few as ten to as many as one hundred capybaras. They enjoy
the company of other creatures that approach them peacefully
