Silver ferrets

The rare grey ferrets of Eregion, with their silvery grey coats broken only by black feet and mask, are unusally intelligent and were favored pets of the Noldor of Ost-in-Edhil. Growing to nearly two feet in length, they are amazingly quick and powerful, able to kill a much larger animal with their strong jaws. It is feared, however, that they are extinct by the mid Third Age.
