History
Telicari wolves are a species of cave wolves. They evolved during the last ice age, built for protection in the large and open caves at the time. As this era drew to an end they were able to survive, unlike many of the other mega-fauna of the time.
As the warmer weather intensified, they began to move out of their caves and into the day. But their sensitive eyes are the reason they still prefer dark spaces.
They were a later domesticated species, often used for show, money, and sometimes poaching. They are especially prized for their colorful spikes, horns, feathers, and fur. They can also be used for hunting and agility. They are not very good housepets however, having habits of climbing wherever they can reach, and trying to wedge themselves into spaces too small for comfort.
Due to their intelligence, they often need regular exercise and activity to engage themselves.
Though Telicari are in the canine family, their closest relatives are the Maned Wolf.
Appearance
They are relatively large wolves, weighing from 120-180 pounds. Males are larger than females. Most have the typical horns and spikes, but some rare mutations due to inbreeding may cause an individual to lack either or.
Due to their dark cave habitat, they come out once a year during the summer to find a mate, which is where their colors are most vital. They are often sporting natural colors, where any other color is due to a feathery-hair or their horns. The colors vary based on where the Telicari is from.
The feathery mane is there for protection and warmth, thought to have been helpful in preserving body warmth while sleeping and to prevent less damage during fights with Cave Bears and Cave Lions. The feathers are the most common part of the body to be colored.
Due to their lack of echolocation, they have many strange body parts to help themselves in navigation and protection. The horns and spikes on their head are for shielding their skull along with protecting others or for attack. Their long tail is to help navigate, but has also been observed for use in a train along more dangerous parts of a cave. The spikes in the middle are to protect the tail itself, but is also used between sparing Telicari. The long, partly translucent feelers protruding from the backs of the Telicari are used to help find stalactites or other hazards on a cave roof to guide a Telicari to safety. Though their ears do lift up, they are built more to pick up echos off the wall and are kept to the side of their head when relaxed. The fur along the end is similar to whiskers. Telicari also have cat-like paws for easier mobility, and long, cat-like whiskers.
There are five types of Telicari, Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Coastal.
