Werewolves
Of all the lycanthropes, the werewolves possess the most complex structure within their social hierarchy, very much like wolf packs in nature.
Werewolves have a highly evolved system of laws and rules governing their actions. Pack law stipulates many things:
1) Pack leaders much fight all challenges to their dominance personally, or forfeit leadership.
2) To ask a pack member for their protection is to acknowledge they are of higher rank without having to fight them. The pack must then accept that person as a dominant.
3)All Lycans are under NightWorld Laws and thus report to the MotC.
Leopards
Natural leopards are not pack animals, they usually hunt and live alone. But, as were creatures, they tend to live with others and need close touching, desiring the bond of being with their kind.
Werehyenas
Natural hyenas are sometimes classified as belonging to both the feline and canine families. As far as the werehyenas and the anitaverse goes, hyenas are considered canines since that is how they were described by the author who wrote the series from which this roleplay is based.
Helpful Hints for Playing a Hyena:
1)Among spotted hyenas the female is always dominant to males. Among striped hyenas the male is always dominant to the female.
2)A show of teeth is considered a threat to hyenas.
3)When hunting, hyenas run down their prey like wolves instead of stalking it like a feline.
4)Werehyena clans are led by an Oba, usually a spotted female or striped male.
5)In nature, the main enemy of a hyena is a lion.
6)Striped hyenas tend to be more solitary then spotted hyenas and are becoming more and more rare. Striped hyenas are also found primarily in the middle east in comparison to the spotted hyenas which are found primarily in africa.
7)Hyenas communicate to each other with a series of whooping type sounds.
The Others
Other groups can establish their own pack, pard like organizations have they enough members, but little is known about the actual structure. But these other creature types are rare and should be played mostly with RC approval
