Hairokami Caniado

The Hairokami Caniado live in big packs with an important hierarchy. They have a Samurai warrior class, extremely loyal to the leader of the pack, the daimyō.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

In terms of mating, the daimyō would kind of have first pick as it were, and the Samurai right behind.
Each female would give birth to a litter of 6-8 babies usually.

Dietary Needs and Habits

The Caniado are carnivorous, and in ancient times, packs would constantly go hunting together. The increasing size of packs forced them to domesticate some of their prey species, since coordination of constant hunts that would feed the whole pack became challenging, especially when their settlements became more and more permanent.
However, on special occasions and holidays, packs organize hunts together.

Additional Information

Social Structure

In more ancient times, the Hairokami lived in smaller family packs, in which when juveniles reached adulthood they either challenged the leader, or left the pack to find their own fortune. They would then either search for a mate, or sometimes join another pack.
As time went on, it became more and more common for bigger packs to form, either by young adults banding together, or being accepted more easily into existing packs. That meant that the packs were no longer lead by a parent of everyone else. A different power dynamic evolved. A strong member would rise to become the leader of the pack, the daimyō. Other strong members of the pack who were not interested in challenging the leader with time evolved into a class of warriors loyal to the daimyō called Samurai. A code of honor has evolved, where loyalty was very important. Any Samurai who would be caught betraying the pack or otherwise dishonoring it, would be either killed, be given the opportunity to take their own life, or cast out to become rogue Samurai, or Ronin. A successful Challenger would become the new daimyō. In later times, even greater super packs would evolve, where one daimyō would be the dominant one and he would become Shogun. However, the Samurai remained loyal to their own daimyō.
