Squats

General Description

Squats are the subjects of a number stereotypes, most notably that they are all obnoxious, ferocious little ankle-biters who'd just as soon stab you in the back1) as give you the time of day. These stereotypes are, it turns out, based in truth, as most squats do indeed supplement their meager incomes with theft.
