Gem wolves are named aptly so as gems have formed along with their bodies over years of evolution. Crystal caves found only recently under the desert sands are home to these intelligent, fun-loving creatures. The gems upon them hold high place within their society.
Each pack is led by a matriarch, the matriarch of the family is easily spotted as her whole body is covered in gems while great wings adorn her back. Only one matriarch is born for each pack when the last decides it is time to step down. Another reason the gems play such an important part in the lives of these magnificent wolves, is that although these wolves are unable to breed in the traditional sense, only those with the same colour gems on their bodies may gather the required crystals together to produce an infant. For this reason it would seem that packs include only those of the same colour gems, while the matriarch will be adorned in all shades of the main colour of the pack.
When the right combination of crystals has been placed in a circle, the parent wolves will leave and return daily in hope that they have successfully produced offspring. New crystals will start to form within the center of the placed crystals, a new Gem Wolf.
