Raccoon

Raccoons are small mammals native to Pandaria.

Some druids say pandaren and raccoons are distant cousins, but never when a pandaren can hear them. Many young raccoons rail against their strict curfews, complaining that dawn is way too early to go to bed. A goblin alchemist once claimed that the bite of a raccoon gave him the gift of prophecy. Turns out, it was just rabies.

There's a raging debate over whether tanukis are raccoons or dogs, but the distinction seems trivial when they're gnawing on your femur.

The taciturn bandicoon's diet consists mostly of apples. Bandicoons are considered master thieves, and they love snacking on fish, and for that they are loathed by anglers.
