Ulfur

Prey stood in the forest clearing, hunger gnawed at Tennur's stomach. He glances to both sides ensuring his pack is moving up at the same pace. The unaware deer continued munching on its leafy meal until it heard a crack, Tennur cursed himself under his breath. The deer now suspicious of danger, perked its ears up and surveyed the woods around it. Tennur decided now was better than ever, leapt forward and began running at the deer, spear in hand. The deer began sprinting away but not until Tennur's spear plunged precisely into its neck killing it near instantly. Food was served for his clan, this would feed them for a good while.

Although as intelligent as any other race, Tennur enjoy hunting for their food source with family or friends. Often ridiculed as being simple animals, they are far from it. They see little relation to their quadriped ancestors, even keeping wolves as pets.

Advanced Canines

Ulfur are a canine-like, bipedal race of creatures that retain much of their ancestors physical traits. One can find Ulfur sharing similarities with anything from wolves, foxes, dogs and jackals. Fur color usually is related to the canine they look like, however years of genetic flow has allowed recent Ulfur to have mixed pelt color.

Clans and Hunters

Ulfur often live as nomadic tribes that wander throughout the forested regions of Sovu'thain. Some have settled into cities and work as butchers or own cattle. Nomadic Ulfur live with their extended family and share food equally. Young Ulfur must succeed a 'coming of age' test to be accepted as a independent adult in the community. This test changes depending on which tribe you ask, however it usually includes surviving alone for a month in the winter, and returning some sort of predators skull. Ulfur that fail this test either wait until the next winter season, or leave the nomadic life to live in the city.
