Canid Morphic

Canid Morphics -> the umbrella term (or one of them) for those Morphics who could be identified as belonging to the order Canidae or Canis.   This includes but is not limited to  
  • wolves
  • dogs
  • coyotes
  • it does not include foxes, who are Vulpes Morphics.

    Basic Information

    Genetics and Reproduction

    Canid Morphics are capable of reproducing with all other Morphic species, as are all morphics in general. With regards to Morphic Dominance, Canids are on the lower end of the spectrum: Felid, Rodens, Scrofa and Cervis all have a higher rate of dominance than Canids, but Canids are very genetically adaptable, producing a higher rate of hybridization when having children with any of the above Morphics. Essentially, those Morphics will have a higher percentage of either being the species passed down or the dominant species in a hybrid child, but the Canid morphic partner vastly raises the percentile chance of a hybrid child as opposed to a solitary offspring type.

    Perception and Sensory Capabilities

    Canid Morphics possess (as a general rule) sharp senses of smell and hearing, but their sense of sight is only average, if not slightly below average.   Canid Morphics are highly sensitive to high pitches of sound, with only Felid Morphics and some Rodens Morphics able to hear in ranges above them. Notably, about 60 percent of all canid morphics, regardless of final species, are some degree of colorblind. There are two kinds of colorblindness only found in canid morphics: Monopathic Colorblindness (in which only one color actually possesses color and everything else is degrees of black and white) and Triadic Colorblindness (in which blues, greens, and other cool tones are easily percieved, but reds and yellows are unable to be percieved whatsoever).
    Origin/Ancestry
    Originate from the far northern reaches, and then spread throughout the world over a period of several millenia, diversified, resulting in the variety of canid morphics visible today.
