Wolves

Wolves are one of the species that play a role in Perfidy.

Range
Natively, wolves used to be found all over Fawth. However, after the many conflicts taking place with the fallow deer and other Eses over territory, they retreated to the eastern side of the island, claiming the land they now call the Wolves' Land for themselves.

Behavior
Wolves cling to their traditions and beliefs and are not very open to change. They prefer to settle, but will still roam around their home a lot.

Abilities
Wolves can bite, kick, and use their paws to defend themselves or hunt.

Lifestyle
Wolves are very family-oriented and live in family groups. Inside these groups, everyone has a pretty close relationship. Most young-adults will disperse from this group once they've come of age.

Living in cities and towns often causes stress among wolves because multiple family groups will live very close to one another. This often doesn't go well, which led to big, wide villages with much space in between each home.

Diet
Though originally mostly carnivorous, wolves have adapted to an omnivorous diet in the later days.

History
Back in the old days, Fawth was an island full of war between the Eses living there. Especially the wolves and the fallow deer, being natural predators and prey, didn't get along. This was all, however, before the wolves had accepted that the fallow deer were just as intelligent as them. They couldn't understand the fallows, however, because they spoke a different language.

Eventually, the leaders of all Eses of Fawth came together and the fallow deer explained to the wolves that the hunting had to stop. Now realizing that they had made a big mistake, the wolves gave in and decided to give the eastern part of Fawth for the deer and the other Eses to live in. They themselves decided to stay in the west, and, with no more hunting other Eses now, they learned how to hunt dinosaurs and they slowly but surely adapted to an omnivorous diet.

General
Wolves are in general close to resembling coyotes. They're fluffy, walk on four paws, have perked-up ears with rounded tips, and bushy tails. The difference, however, is that wolves are bigger than coyotes, and have relatively smaller ears and tails and bigger muzzles.

Fur colors
Wolves come in three general colors: Brown, medium to dark gray or black. The brown variant is the most common, and can include markings that can be grayish, paler or darker brown, white, or black. Black or dark gray wolves are less common, but they also can have markings, which are usually of a paler or slightly darker tone.

Eye color
Wolves can have eyes that are either blue, green, or anywhere in between these two colors.
