Species Name:Tanci
Weight:light, 65-80 pounds depending on sex and diet
Height:male around 24 inches

Approximate Size Ratio To Wolf:smaller, about Labrador size
Category: Feral, I believe
Unique Attributes: names are always verbs or months in any language
each and every one is categorically blind.
however, they all have ONE colour glass they can see through, for example, March's is green.
at birth, often their parents pass down the seeing colour, so if the dad saw through blue and the mum saw through yellow, baby would see through green. This rule is sometimes broken though.
the primary seeing colours (red, yellow and blue) generally happen to males, but red likes to choose females.
their teeth are like rat's teeth.
their wings (if they have them) are always ONE solid colour.
their senses are so sharp, they don't really need to see, though it is nice to be able to see others.
Omnivorous opportunists. If there is food, they will eat it.
Appearance/Coloration:they tend to stick to natural, earthy colours in their fur, but often dye the longer parts of fur. Black and white are quite common, and many have markings like magpies.
they enjoy having hairdos, and strive to have different hairdos to everyone else.
the males are larger than the females, but both have the same build.
Personality/Temperament:kindly, but often will refuse to talk to smaller beings, seeing them as food rather than companions and keeping watch.
they will willingly learn human/two-leg speech and happily work for favours.
Tancis want to learn EVERYTHING they possibly can. Learn, learn, learn.
Fighting Ability/Strength:sinewy, not so strong, enough to knock a furre down, but not enough to hold down a fighting rottweiler.
quick reflexes. quick like a cat on speed.
They will avoid fights with talk at all cost.
Group/Pack:very social.
No set pack, all consider the others brothers.

goshdang [link]Additional Information:mating season is in January, where they will seek out their mate from the previous year – unless they are already with them.
They mate like dogs, with the whole ‘tie’ thing.
If one mate dies, the other will carry on without them, raise the kit then find a different mate the next year.
One kit is born per pair. One.
Pregnancy lasts 4 months, really short, but the kit is born naked and about a handspan long.
The parents will DOTE on this kid, do everything within their power to make it happy. Basically it’s a little ruler as soon as it’s born.
Then it hits a year old, and it has to fend for itself for 6 months. Technically it can survive on it's own at 6 months, but the parents are extremely protective. If it survives this, it’s parents will treat it as they’d treat any other Tanci.
As soon as the parents know their kit’s seeing-colour, they will seek out advanced civilisation in order to steal the right shade of glass to make a pair of goggles. Single parents tend to make monogoggles with just one lens.
Throughout their life, Tanci will replace and renew their glass, any little scratch, and it must be changed.
vocally, they generally squeak. barks are used a lot too, howls are rare.
they can live to be about 25 years old.
oh my!
