The Nectar Shrew (Procrisorex anthopinus) is the fictional species of shrew introduced in Worldcraft.
Etymology
These genera of these shrews are from Greek mythology, named Procris, a princess, and her husband, Cephalus, an Aeolian prince. The shrews are always tested and confused, but they are always successful.
Physical Appearance
This shrew was identical to the blood shrew, except for the short mouth, long snout and rostrum, smaller ears and tail, grappling claws, and smaller body than typical shrews. This shrew was also occupied with hummingbirds, and it fed not only the nectar but also the blood of enemies. These two shrews have short and thick brown hair for camouflage and dark gray for babies, light orange skin, a short tail, and retract claws.
Abilities
This shrew was similarly preoccupied with hummingbirds, and it provided not just nectar but also enemy blood.

Behavior

This species is abundant.

Tamed
Nectar shrews can adapt to humans by being domesticated, to the point that they become clingy and cuddly. However, their lifespan in captivity is typically significantly lower than that of their wild counterpart, where they can live up to 20 years. You can feed with grubs, fruits, blood, or meat.
