Description:
The Dease Dire Wolf is a wolf-like creature, about half the size of a typical Earth wolf, distinguished by its two tentacles with suction cups. These tentacles extend from its shoulders and are used for gripping prey and climbing. The species is notable for its green fur, an adaptation to its forested environment.
Diet:
Dease Dire Wolves are obligate carnivores, relying solely on a diet of meat. They hunt in packs, employing coordinated tactics to take down prey.
Lifespan:
Dease Dire Wolves have a lifespan of approximately 50 years.
Reproduction:
Females mate twice a year, typically birthing between 2 to 5 pups per reproductive cycle.
Behavior:
These creatures share many traits with Earthbound wolves, including pack hunting and social structures. The packs are led by an alpha pair, which ensures the group’s cohesion and hunting efficiency. Their tentacles give them a unique advantage in capturing prey and navigating their environment.
