Long ago, Aprox. 30000 BC, aliens landed on Earth, bringing their pets, the ancestors of the modern day, loose-skinned Baveils with them. Although they since perished, the Baveils have perfectly adapted to Earth's climate, & can be found practically anywhere remotely chilly or urban. Humans have managed to tap into their primal programming and domesticated a rare few, but the majority are wild, clever beasts with hides as thick and pliable as blankets. YOU, are a (wild) Baveil.
