Mocha - Stealthmaster, Chonkzilla, Fluffiest of them all
Lore
Mocha is currently one of the largest ferrets at Snail's House
Mocha sleeps in the cage with the oldies. During playtimes Mocha frequently sleeps in various parts of the room, however he tends to be active and play with the younger ferret groups when they're out at the same time. One of his frequent playtime tactics is to crawl into a tube and stop in the middle of it, then attempt to defend the path and block other ferrets from getting in.
