The Animal Folk Shifters are a species originating from the central Island Continent knows as "The Fae Lands". They posses the ability to shift partially or completely into an animal form. Their life expectancy is fairly short, most only living up to 50 years. Shifters have a tribal hunting society. They primarily live and travel in tribal hunting parties or packs. A typical Shifter village serves as home to 2-4 pack groups of similar species family units. Shifters are primarily an aggressive hunting species, and their titles are earned through hunting prowess. There are occasional occurrences of herbivore Shifters but they are far less common. Often the packs will travel if the hunting grows sparse, so most of the villages are set up with tents and temporary structures.
The only other species Shifters can regularly interact with are the Pexilee, and they are wary of them because Pexilee are longer lived, and can easily rain destruction upon a village for several generations.
Shifters live with emphasis on the present, so their history does not hold much sentimental value to them. Some oral stories have been passed down, mostly of valiant huntings that seemed impossible. Occasionally Clawscrit texts are produced by a tribal scribe, but general tribal literacy is inconsistent.
