Liminal Wombats burrowing beyond the threshold

 Wombats are cool. They use their bums to crush the skulls of their enemies when they try to get in to their burrows, their burrows are extensive networks that can be used by other animals during bushfires, the classic cube poo, and they actually live in burrows with groups up to 10. 

What if the wombats burrows were actually tunnels that transcend reality and allow travel through the threshold of the universes. 

Enter the liminal wombat. These creatures exist just outside our periphery, between the the barrier of the real and the dream. Like the eye floaters they exist in our vitreous humours. They require immense concentration to perceive. Once you are able to fully perceive them, they appear before you. 

They are ambivalent to the goings on of the physical realm, however they are willing to parlay and guide travelers through their burrows leading them through the pathways between the realms.

The tunnels take many forms. They can range from cave systems, to hallways, to underground river systems.
