Matri Lupcain-

Possible locations-Matria

Species-Unknown

Origins-Uknown but they are considered to be a result of the beast god's experiments

Bloodline-Lupcaines are said to possess blood balance of ancient canine and lupine species, the most common blend being a mix of mountain fox and forest wolf with few exceptions. The Matri Lupcain, a species unique to the snow kingdom of Matria are commonly considered to be a mix of the ancient grey wolf and arctic fox, their behavior among the group, or pack as well as their diets and facial structure being the greatest indicator.

Description-The Matri Lupcaine has the head of a fox, the body of a wolf, and a long fat tail. Their fur is white with grey lining their stomach and eyes, with the area around their neck, paws, and chest being the thickest. Because of their soft fur, fluffy tail, and snow-white color, they are also called "clouds leaping the ground" because of the way they lunge at their prey. Despite their cute and noble appearance when aggravated they can become one of the most deadly encounters due to their high intelligence and pack behavior.

Diet-The Matri Lupcaine, like the average Lupcaine is an omnivore.

Average Weight-Male-(55-132 pounds)/Female-(62-148 pounds)

Births-The average Lupcain gives birth to a litter of six to seven pups within a period of six to seven months, the Matri variety also follow this same rule. After the mother has successfully given birth she will retire, relying on the father for food and protection, the rest of the pack will also protect the mother.

Growth-Just like a normal Lupcaine the Matri will be born bald, growing their fur within a month. As they have no proper way to maintain any semblance of warmth in the cold environment they will rely on their mother. She will rest the pups on her chest, laying on them slightly. After a year the Matri pup will grow to be two and a half-human heads tall with a length of four heads, five if you include its tail. By this time the pup will begin hunting, honing their instincts. If it fails to gain any semblance of foraging or hunting ability it is doomed to die. At the age of five the Matri will either leave the pack and form its own or it will stay in its pack.

Pack Behaviors-The Lupcaine follows a strict hierarchy ranking strength and presence with those below the leader unable to disobey unless willing to directly challenge the leader, in which case the leader and the challenger will begin to slap each other with their claws retracted until one falls unconscious or is unable to continue. Each member will work in groups when hunting or foraging and will offer a portion of their spoils to the leader and his or her harem.
