These species were not made up by me, but they are from a book series I am quite fond of that isn't very popular in the FH community. I had hoped to make an official RP group for the species...but then I advertised and couldn't find anyone who knew about them at all! So here it is, the species description of these wonderful wolfies from the series Planet Wolf
The Lind:
The Lind are swift, lean, beautiful wolf-like denizens, with the ability to communicate through mind links with others of their kind. They can speak rough english, but cannot improve their knowledge without being taught by a human. They are fluent in Lindish, their species's language, and prefer to speak it out loud but on occasion they will mind-link with another close by. Their mind speaking does take energy, and the farther the distance between the Lind in contact, the more energy it takes. The longest connection in the history of the Lind was across an ocean, one on each of Rybak's(The Lind's home planet) two continents. The Lind in contact however were rendered unconscious for the next day. A little known secret is that the Lind are able to bend the thoughts of other creatures, and in doing so are able to affect their actions. They never use this on prey though, out of respect for a fair hunt. They have an extremely useful pace that can eat up the miles and be sustained for long periods of time. Being peaceful creatures, they do not believe in the needless slaying of any animal, or in Lindish, volat.
The Lai are mystical beings of Lind Folklore, clad in golden armor and breathing great jets of fire into the sky as they fly. According to legend, the Lai taught the Lind the gift of language when they first arrived on the planet.
The Lind are wolf-like, but are about the size of an adult racehorse. They have bluish gray fur, which is streaked with colored stripes. The color of the stripe defines the Lind's pack, or rtath(Lindish for pack), and can be any color in the rainbow including brown and black. After multiple generations of interbreeding however, a Lind's color may be mixed with another as well, and on rare occasions may become rainbow-like. The Lind live as long as a normal human, dying around 80-90 if not killed before then. As they age, their pelt gradually fades away to white. The whitest Lind are often leaders, called Elda. A Lind's greatest defense is retractable claws called Chelas, which are practically super-sized cat claws.
The ranks for a Lindish battle squadron are many, but here's the basic format, with the highest rank to the lowest:
Susyc-1
SIC(second in command)-1
Lindar-~
Ryzka-3(per Lindar)
Ryz-3(per Ryzka)
There are several more, but I'll not try and confuse you further.
The Larg:
In the history of the Lind, when there was only one continent on Rybak, there was no such thing as a Larg. All were Lind, and lived happily in peace. Then a tragic earthquake separated the continent, dividing half the Lind from the others. The second continent became desert-like, and the Lind there quickly grew to be...different. Their hearts turned bitter with anger for the Northern Lind, since they had forests and plenty of prey to hunt. The Southern Lind cut off all mind links with their Norther brothers, and renamed themselves Larg. Their pelts lost their sheen, turning to a dusty brown color to match the desert sands. Their hatred grew and grew, and eventually they attacked the other continent using a series of Islands to cross the ocean.
Larg are dirty brown or tan colored, and have no stripes. They can only do very basic mind speaking, and are always lusting for a fight. It is tradition, in fact, for young Larg to go off to battle the Lind and prove themselves. They would rather die than surrender, and often do. With the Larg, honor is everything, and retreating from a battle is the most dishonoring thing a Larg can do. Only males fight for the Larg, and the majority of them never return. Their favorite pastime is killing, and their favorite way to kill is by pulling their victim in all directions, splitting them apart. The Larg are slightly bigger than Lind and also possess Chelas.
Once again, complicated ranks that I will only show part of:
Largan-1
Kohortagan-~
Kohort-1(per Kohortagan)
Kranj-100(give or take)
Well that's the two species! Perhaps I'll post a Lindish guide later, but I don't feel like doing it now so...enjoy!
