What species Is hoodwink?

[King of Yugoslavia]

Face, ears colors and tail stripes are similar to red panda, but limbs are not black.

i believe it's an original species
it's a forest creature so the red panda imagery doesn't really fit, she's actually more of a squirrel apparently
i mean according to the lore her race is called Squirrelfolk


also if you type squirrel in the hero tab she comes up : https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/m74uf5/hoodwink_is_classified_as_squirrel_in_heroes_tab/

so yeah hoodwink is a fantasy humanoid squirrel (basically a nimble and furry gnome)

the teeth and face structure looks like predator, something like ferret or fox, I don't know

well it's fantasy so if valve says it's a predator humanoid squirrel then so be it

More like a squirrel chipmunk hybrid

okay, I will take it is original fantasy creature, without ties to real life taxonomy

she just seems like a mix of all furry forest creatures (foxes, squirrels, etc) but valve clearly focused on the squirrel part most
