Registered Cross Flight Subspecies



Basic Lore:
These Tundras are unlike their brethren, expanding their diet to meat instead of plants. As such, their teeth are sharper than their counterparts and their movements swift in order to track prey. Typically, these Tundras are in packs, but occasionally one may see a lone Canis Lupus Tundra, although not for long, as they prefer packs to wander with others of their kind.

Colors range from greys, blacks, reds, browns, and even golds, and the colors typically match the environment that they live in. Their living range includes the Southern Icefield, the Tangled Woods, the Viridian Labyrinth, the Sunbeam Ruins, the Windswept Plateau, and the Shifting Expanse, but on occasion, a pack may wander into other dragon lands if the prey runs well.

Still, they typically avoid other dragons and like to keep to themselves. It causes them to be a very mysterious and misunderstood breed of dragon. However, it allows them to keep their culture and practices untainted by mainstream dragons. One such practice is howling to and with each other. It is a language meant for their understanding and knowledge only, so it is only shared to other dragons if they accepted as a member of their pack. Each pack has their own unique song that tells of their history and culture as well.

On nights when the moon is full, nearby packs gather to peacefully mingle, sharing stories and songs as well as compete in matters of strength, speed, cunning, and teamwork. They believe the full moon is sacred and would never dare lift a claw against one of their own kind at such times. However, when the moon is not full, packs can fight each other to compete for land and prey, putting their own pack first.

There is a structure within their packs, with an alpha female and alpha male on top, who are mates for life (or as long as the other is living). Sometimes, a lower Tundra may challenge an alpha for dominance, but the loser (whether the alpha or other Tundra) can be exiled from the pack, which is the usual cause for lone Canis Lupus Tundras.
