Canis

Canis, a noble race of dogs and wolves, emerged as guardians of the wild, blessed with intelligence and speech by the spirits of nature. Born into tightly-knit packs, each led by a wise Alpha, the Canis thrive on loyalty, bravery, and an unwavering sense of justice. Their deep affinity for the wilderness allows them to communicate with animals and interpret the subtle signs of the environment, making them staunch protectors of nature.

Bearing a shapeshifting legacy granted by ancient magic, some Canis possess the ability to shift between humanoid and animal forms, harnessing the strength and agility of their animal brethren. Allied with Fey creatures, the Canis draw upon their inherent connection to nature, their cultural traditions celebrating the changing of seasons and the spirits of the forest. As Crusaders for Justice, they travel realms, protecting the innocent, eradicating darkness, and leaving an indelible mark on the epic fantasy realm as champions of the wild and seekers of ancient knowledge.
