A new species has been spotted in Bonfire recently...
Introducing the goyabhed!The goyabhed is a large wolfish carnivore found mainly around the coast of Bonfire Island, where it hunts horses and other large game.
The goyabhed is very wary of humans, which may carry guns or other weapons. Their pelt is very soft, making them a target for hunters; however, only a shot to the eye can easily penetrate its skull and do real damage to the brain from a distance because the goyabhed has evolved a thick skull from fighting over mates during mating season.
Female goyabheds are larger than males, and are dominant year-round except during mating season. The reason for their larger size is, in fact, so they can carry more cubs; dominance was an unintended side effect.

Male:
Cubs are born blind and deaf, and they don't grow horns until they become teens. Their eyes and ears open a few days after birth; their teeth grow in when they reach two weeks of age. At this point, they can eat meat like their parents, but they still can't hunt on their own.
Teens can hunt with their parents; however, they can't take down large prey, such as horses and cows.
They also come with different horns!
NOTE:
All goyabheds
must have backwards-pointing horns or ram horns.
No exceptions.
MATING SEASON: Mating season is in March. Males fight like goats over mating rights to the females. They will not kill each other; however, they may still seriously injure each other. Females who have mated in March are pregnant throughout April and give birth in May.
Colors range from bright orange to golden brown. Underfur, above eyes, below eyes, and tail tip must be white. Mane must be brown. No markings or wings. Eyes can be any color.
Additionally, while the tuft must be either back mane or back elbow rump, the mane can be anything (including maneless).
These standards may change for different subspecies, which will be discussed next month when I introduce a second one. For now, feel free to run around Bonfire as a Bonfirian goyabhed!
