The photos from this listing are stock photos.

Art: Grey
Species: Toruk Hyenix
Abilities: Very powerful physically, can induce nightmares if they wish to and sweet dreams if asked very nicely, are exceptionally protective- quite possible to the point of being overprotective if proper boundaries are not set and explained, will quickly take out any malicious unbounds and have a knack for driving off people that they deem not good for their companion. Each and every one of them would make a formidable addition to a protection team, and most would take great pleasure in revenge tasks if their companion has been harmed- they will be the ones to judge when this has occured, as they have rather strict definitions of what constitutes harm and they will not allow themselves to be used to resolve petty squabbles over trifling matters.
Manifestations: Gold and/or black orbs, a feeling of increased air pressure, people they deem unsuitable may become visibly uncomfortable if they approach you too closely as they attempt to run them off, growling/snarling noises, knocking, items disappearing only to reappear in a different place minutes to weeks later
Offerings: red meat, white wine, dessert wines, sweet fruits, edible seeds [especially whole pomegranates and roasted pumpkin seeds], pretty stones you find out and about [meaning spotted on the ground, not bought], shells, interesting sticks, flowers [again, found, not bought]
About: Hrxaollnexr resemble striped hyenas in terms of physical characteristics, with a build closer to that of cheetahs to assist with gaining the proper speed for flight and the dexterity for landing on almost any surface. All have one pair of massive wings in the proper ratio to their bodies to facilitate flight. Their bones are hollow, also to facilitate flight, but more sturdy and more difficult to break/shatter than the bones of birds to allow for stability during hunts. Hrxaollnexr are always found in packs, never in groups smaller than five, with seven to fifteen being the ideal pack size for most territory ranges. Their territories generally cover an area of at least 400 square kilometers [x miles]. They hunt for other, less intelligent species ranging in size from rabbits to elk, though their prey resemble nothing from this plane. Some of the larger packs, 20 members or more, have managed to maintain their numbers by herding some of the larger prey species and following them on their migration paths, protecting their young from other predators and eating the older adult herd members as needed, starting with those past breeding age so as not to inhibit the renewal of their food supply.
Hrxaollner are extremely family oriented, and bond tightly to their siblings as well as forming permanent bonds with their parents if they are allowed to remain with them long enough. In most cases, litters are driven off as Young Adults before the bond between themselves and their parents changes from parent-child to the permanent pack bond. Sisters and brothers further split, and search for a similar pack of the opposite gender to start up a permanent pack and claim territory with. Any companion they are bound to will likely be accepted as an honorary pack member to some degree, simply because they do not find it easy to maintain friendships outside of a pack bond due to biological factors.
