Overview

Great fearsome beasts of the Entorian wilds. The short haired, broad shouldered golanei are very capable hunters and trackers. Generally attacking from ambush, these beasts are capable of extreme patience, and have be known to track a quarry for weeks before making a move. With the exception of one subspecies these predators tend to be solitary and quiet territorial, claiming a hunting ground many leagues across.

Sub-Species

Forest Golanei

Brown and grey dappled fur allows these beasts an impressive level of camouflage in their preferred environment.

Mountain Golanei

With fur ranging from black to auburn, the mountain golanei tend to alpine forests and meadows.

Northern

The largest of the golanei species, the northern golanei are renowned for being the most vicious, and capable hunters in the cold tundra wastes they call home. A mottled fur ranging from white to silvery grey in colour aids them in blending into the snowy terrain during the cold seasons. They tend to be more nomadic in their behaviour, following the herds of prey they require to sustain themselves through the long winters.

Pack Golanei

Averaging about half the size, but no less territorial than their solo cousins, this species of golanei form family prides numbering 4-24 members. They tend to claim larger swathes of territory supported by their greater numbers, and a strict pack hierarchy within the group.

Plains Golanei

Brown to tawny fur graces these giants. The males also sport manes of much longer hair about their neck and shoulders, usually in a darker hue than their main colouration
