some of thm are grumpy loners - at least in terms of humans.
some are skittish around humans (probably a good trait in general for such a creature)
some are friendly to humans.
some are more curiois and inquisitive.
some are quite stay-at-home / clean freaks.
some are more agressive / territorial,
some are ingeniuos and have better problem solving / building / physical manipulation skills.
