A small climbing scavenger that nests in windfall and defends ledges and trunks with height on its side.

Character
Uses height: ledges, a felled trunk, a high shelf. Retreat space and approach angle matter more than the vole itself.
Small enough that three of them read as a nest rather than a squad.
