The raccoons of River City are not your normal raccoons. They are highly intelligent (one might even say hyper-intelligent) and live in the River City Dump where they gather the supplies they need for some unknown project.
Raccoons don’t have Magical Powers, but with their hyper-intelligence they build machines to suck magic out of magical kitties and other supernatural creatures. Then they use it to power impossible hyper-technologies they assemble out of high-tech junk scavenged from garbage cans and dumps.
