The Griffins and The Blackjacks- two rival packs who have been fighting for centuries now, in the land of Chimera. While the bloodlust and the fighting have yet to cease, a bigger issue arrives in dozens, hundreds, and possibly even thousands. Stubborn as they are, the two foes are reluctant when it comes to bringing both packs together, not realizing the importance it would be if the groups were to unite. With the Apocalypse of creatures comes the sickness, a disease no wolf knows yet how to cure and knows which creature it emits from.

ＴＨＥ ＳＩＣＫＮＥＳＳ
There are four stages to this sickness. Many don't understand how it starts- usually when a wolf comes back with a bite or a scratch they become sick, but some feel this contagious disease can be airborne, thus they stay out of certain areas. A healer usually gives a wolf infected 3 dosages daily- daisy leaves, yarrow, and thyme. These are to ease up the pain, help with appetites, and give more energy. Since there is no actual cure found yet, wolves don't know what to properly feed the infected.
Stage 1 } Week 1
A wolf has moments of dizziness and a sore throat. Closing in on Week 3, the wolf may even cough up blood and vomit often. Their appetite tends to vary between starving and not hungry whatsoever, and they usually wake up with sore muscles later on in the day.
Stage 2 } Week 2
This is when things get a little more concerning. Some wolves may not be able to get up at all, while others get little to none activity daily. Appetites get worse as the wolf eats less and less, becoming entirely thin and losing weight crazily. Coughing up blood and vomiting is common now, as well as frequent fainting.
Stage 3 } Week 3
Now things get crazy. The wolf gets more hungry than ever, eating and drinking constantly. They grow more healthy, run around more and seem super happy. However, what this is often mistaken for is a clean slate of health, and healers can't recognize whether or not they are still infected are not. It is rare for a wolf to become healthy again at this stage, however there is no telling until week 4.
Stage 4 } Week 4
Now, this is the death stage. The wolf is extremely sick. They don't eat, they are constantly throwing up, they are all sweaty, they have excruciatingly painful stomach pains and headaches, and they have panted breaths. This is a 24 hour cycle until they eventually die or are put out of misery.

ＴＨＥ ＣＲＥＡＴＵＲＥＳ
* regular species also exist, yet they have a lack of numbers due to the new creatures
Creepers ;; Thin, white or grey creatures, slightly resembling a canine, with long pointed ears and thin, long tails. They can blend well in the shadows, as their hairless pelts are like that of a chameleon. They have long, pointed fangs that come in light purple tones, and they are only threats when they feel they are in danger. Though they have no claws and they aren't very good with their fangs, they can spit venom at you. Sometimes, for fun, they like to hunt down a wolf in packs and kill them for fun.
Nightwalkers ;; Sometimes referred to as shadow wolves because they look like one's shadow, these creatures you can barely see at night and are small threats. Their eyes are entirely white and glow. They have small fangs but large claws, and they will attack anything for any reason. These wolves only appear in the West.
Gladiens ;; These types of deer are seen as beautiful. They have white pelts and beige stomachs, with wolf-like fluffy tails and light grey antlers. Their antlers, although pointed and sharp, glow a yellowish-white hue when they are loving or threatened. They are not much different from normal deer but many say their meet is far more delicious. However, they are very fast and very hard to catch.
Dynas ;; Small, harmless, bird-like dragon creatures.
Skull crushers ;; [ for idea of head, look at the end of the blade here] Extremely violent and dangerous creatures with strong, powerful shaped heads that are both heavy and sharp. They are like rhinos- they ram into things and like to kill. Legendary to find one, but very hard to kill or at least contain. Their horns are used as trophys in alpha's dens.
Leflyns ;; An odd, blue-purple bird species that are about the size of a hawk with pointed black beaks and silver eyes.
Jeyties ;;Resembling a bat, this bird has feathers but the features of a bat. Their screech can be deafening if within a meter. They are also legendary to find. You can find at least one of their black-purple sparkled feathers in an alpha's den.
