Canidae

The members of the Canidae race run the spectrum from disciplined Dog Canidae who mostly live in large cities and are known for their friendly dispositions, to the more savage Wolf canidae that are as feared as they are respected. Due to the strong hierarchies of their societies and innate respect for their superiors, Canidae are almost always Lawful, with the notable exception of Coyotes and Hyenas who are almost exclusively chaotic. Canidae stand 5 to 7 feet tall at adulthood. Wolf, Dog and Hyena Canidae are generally larger than their Coyote and Fox cousins.

Frightful Howl

As a bonus action, once per short rest, a Wolf Canidae can emit a howl in a 60-foot-radius spread. Enemy or neutral creatures in this radius must make a successful WIS save (DC 15) or become frightened. While frightened by this trait, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn’t have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the affect ends for that creature. Success indicates that the target is immune to Frightful Howl for until the next day.
