Basic Information

Anatomy

Wolvin appear to be, for all intents and purposes, bipedal wolves that resemble werewolves more than anything else. They are furry with medium to long length fur, but otherwise possess normal humanoid internal anatomy.

Genetics and Reproduction

As an All-Male race, Wolvin rely on other races to mate with, and have only been known to be able to reproduce with Kitsune - other races, it is believed, are all but incapable of being impregnated by them except in incredibly rare circumstances.

Growth Rate & Stages

Wolvin are normally fully grown by 10 and are considered adults by then, and tend to die off before they reach the age of 20 - though this is more attributed to their reckless lifestyles than any actual disease or defect. The true lifespan of the Wolvin people is unknown, but theorized to be at least on par with the Kitsune.

Ecology and Habitats

Wolvin can adapt to almost any environment, changing themselves in subtle ways if they spend long enough in a given area.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Wolvin diets are very meat and fish heavy, and otherwise only eat root vegetables on top of this.

Biological Cycle

Unknown. They rarely live long enough for others to discover how they age.

Additional Information

Facial characteristics

Wolvin faces are characterized by their long furred snouts, furred ears, and normal eyes.

Average Intelligence

Wolvin tend to have intelligence on par with or less than humans - they are easily distracted and rarely show insights of good intelligence, and consider them 'a waste of good living time'.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Wolvin have an intensely keen sense of smell that lets them identify the locations of others at but a sniff, and eyes adapted to conditions of low-light that let them see better.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Wolvin names are short, sweet, and to the point - they are easy to say and simple to understand. Wolvin prefer short names rather than long ones, as in the time they spend saying a long name, they could be spending that time better celebrating life by fighting, drinking, etc. They don't often have surnames. If they do, they have taken their pack name as their surname.
As they are are an all-male race, their names are only male.
