[QUOTE="Shade, post: 5732083, member: 287"] Before we move on from the canids, do either of these need a conversion (I'm guessing they are covered by the existing dog stats)...

OF ATTACKS: 1 DAMAGE/ATTACK: 1-4 SPECIAL ATTACKS: Nil SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil MAGIC RESISTANCE: Nil SIZE: S (3' long) MORALE: Unsteady (5-7) XP VALUE: 35 Smaller than wolves, the appearance of the wild dog varies from place to place. Most appear very wolf-like, while others seem to combine the looks of a wolf and a jackal. Combat: Wild dogs fight as an organized pack. They favor small game, and attack men and human habitations only in times of great hunger. The bite of a wild dog inflicts 1-4 points of damage. Habitat/Society: Wild dogs are found almost anywhere. They run in packs, and are led by the dominant male. The pack usually hunts a variety of game, even attacking deer or antelope. Pups are born in the spring. Wild dogs can be tamed if separated from their pack. Ecology: Wild dogs are omnivores which usually thrive on a combination of hunting and foraging.
