An Altine is a furry mammal native to colder climates. They range from the size of a wolf to the size of a tiger. Both males and females have manes, although the males' tend to be a bit larger and furrier. Altines are most recognisable by two features: thier masks and their tails. All Altines have a raccoon-like mask on their face; there has never been and will never be an Altine without a mask. Altines are also distinguished by their tails. They all have a thick tail with a mouth on the end. The mouth operates by use of a second brain, but cannot vocalise in any form. Occassionally, the tail-mouths have long fangs that secrete venom. This, however, is quite uncommon. For an unknown reason, the tail-mouths' tounges are always brightly coloured and forked.
