Gaúdan

     Red wolves with dark stripes which can move in trunks and branches like if they were monkeys. Their tail resembles the latter's, prehensil and three times longer than that of a normal wolf. The long snout hides strong mandibles with big teeth. A gaúdan's favorite way to kill is to bite the neck. They may be found in many woods, specially the three-dimensional environment of Ardenellíe's giant fig trees, where they're very feared: the Knowledge 's Orchards have a tale of how a pack with over two hundred wolves, each one ripping off the throat of ten people. This would have happened in 120 Post-Idura, when Ardenellíe still was the kingdom of Arcadia. This catastrophe was responsible for making the feidralin elves demand that everyone should lear how to handle a bow, while the feidarashi learned how to use chakrams. The species has also changed since then: centuries dealing with elven hunters seems to have made them more agile and cunning.
