In Dungeons & Dragons, a raccoon is typically represented as a small, mischievous creature known for its dexterity and cleverness. As a creature in the game, it is often portrayed as a small beast with a distinctive appearance, characterized by its ringed tail, dark mask-like markings around its eyes, and agile nature. Raccoons are frequently found in forests, urban areas, and places where food is easily accessible, such as garbage dumps or kitchens.

While raccoons don't generally hold any significant role in the core rules of D&D, they can be used creatively by Dungeon Masters (DMs) to add flavor to an adventure or setting. Raccoons could serve as animals that interact with the environment, perhaps scavenging for food or causing trouble by stealing items. In some campaigns, raccoons might even be given anthropomorphic qualities or magical abilities, allowing them to serve as companions or minor antagonists.

In terms of mechanics, raccoons in D&D are often treated as simple beasts with abilities reflecting their natural traits, such as high dexterity, stealth, and a knack for picking up and manipulating objects. Their small size makes them difficult targets, and they can easily squeeze into tight spaces or avoid detection. Raccoons are also known for their curiosity and may be attracted to shiny or interesting objects, making them useful as plot devices to guide characters toward hidden treasures or secrets. 

Overall, while raccoons are not central to most campaigns, they can add charm and intrigue when included, serving as both a source of comic relief and a reminder of the wilderness that exists within D&D worlds.
