"The Gaich was a large fox found throughout the foothills of the Misty Mountains. It was the primary small predator in Rhudaur. Its name meant \"changer,\" for the gaich was black in the summer and white in the winter. Rhudaurans held many superstitious views about the nature of the gaich and considered it sacrosanct when it was molting. For about two weeks a year \u2014 when it shed its old coat and its new fur was growing in \u2014 the gaich appeared striped and was purportedly immune to weaponry. G\u00EDch ate primarily small mammals such as rabbits, mice, and squirrels, although they would also eat eggs, ripe fruit, and carrion. Their furs were marketable, but not especially valuable."@en . . "Gich"@en . . . . "The Gaich was a large fox found throughout the foothills of the Misty Mountains.
