Maned Valehounds are highly intelligent, wolf-like mammals. They live in many diverse climates but prefer northern mountain and forest regions where their thick fur coats allow them protection against the elements. They are typically nomadic and travel in large tribes consisting of many families and overlapping generations. Valehounds are strong, loyal creatures worthy of respect.
Maned Valehounds get their name from the stiff mohawk-like mane running from the base of their skull to their shoulder blades. Their thick fur protects them from the elements and from being injured in fights. Hounds hunt and kill small animal prey but also forage for fruits and tubers. Adults are slightly larger and taller than the average timber wolf while newborn cubs are the size of house cats. Hounds can live for sixty to eighty years old, the oldest being around ninety years.
Valehounds possess incredibly diverse and beautiful coat colors and patterns. They can be dark or light colored and have any kind of color combinations and designs you can imagine. Their coats, which typically coincide with their individual personalities, are designed to help them attract mates, instead of camouflage like other creatures.
Maned Valehounds have several physical mutations that occur randomly in their population and have a small chance of being passed on through their genes.
The most common mutations are:
• Shorter or longer than average tails and manes
• Presence of hair
• Albinism
• Heterochromia
• Presence of stripes or spots on coat
• Presence of snake-like scales on legs, back, and head
• Long fangs or tusks
Rarer mutations include:
• Bioluminescent markings and glowing eyes
• Presence of bone spikes or horns
• Bone plates on back and legs
• Growth of feathers in mane
