Brian's Journal
"I came across this thing in my travels. They look like little rodents. From what I can tell from the locals they carry some sort of disease that I'd just as rather avoid, but knowing my sorry ass I'll end up eating one when I'm desperate enough. The little vermin barely make any noise so I can barely tell when ones near. That'd make hunting one a hell of a lot of trouble for the amount of gain I'd get from it."

Trivia

 * While classified as agoutis for simplicities sake, the lowland paca is not actually an agouti.
