//------------------------------// // Burrenti // Story: Beasts and Beings - Stories of Equestria's Inhabitants // by Strongbolt Stonewing //------------------------------// Burrenti are small, rabbit-like creatures that are often found within large underground burrows. Their fur always comes in either a light blue or turquoise colour and unlike regular rabbits, their ears are bent at ninety degree angles. Burrenti (singular is also Burrenti) are also one of the few creatures, other than ponies, who actually have an element of style and class. For some strange reason, Burrenti show no signs of intelligence whatsoever, yet, remarkably enough, they have the wits to steal furniture from homes and use it to decorate their own abodes. One account from a resident in Fillydelphia explains: "I was sat at home on my armchair, when a dozen furry little goblins snuck in and made off with my dining room table." One may ask: how does a Burrenti manage to fit a dining room table into such a small den? The answer, it isn't small. Oh no, Burrenti prefer larger homes, most are of similar size to a regal pony residence. It is for that reason that many beast fanatics believe that Burrenti are simply replicating the actions of ponies and fear that one day an evil Burrenti dictator shall rise and seize control over Equestria. Sounds slightly ridiculous when you realise that these things are no bigger than a puppy. The idea is ridiculous enough despite their size. Anyhow, Strongbolt and myself have only come across Burrenti once, during a spring day in Los Pegasus, when we witnessed a migration of Burrenti carrying a sofa with a very confused-looking elderly mare sat upon it. Yes, that was quite hilarious... anyway, back to the dangerous stuff!
