Giant Raccoons resemble their normal counterparts in all respects except size. The average giant raccoon is 7 feet long from nose to tail.
Nocturnal and omnivorous, giant raccoons often live close to human settlements for easy access to trash and other sources of food. But whereas normal-sized raccoons’ trash pilfering creates a minor annoyance, for giant raccoons it can lead to wholesale mayhem and ransacking of property.
Giant raccoons are highly intelligent and have their own chittering dialect, which they use to communicate with mundane raccoons and humanoid rakun. Their forepaws are unusually dexterous, allowing them to perform manual tasks such as opening doors and containers. Some have even been known to pick locks.
The giant raccoon lair sometimes contains valuable trinkets collected because of their shiny or unique appearance.
