hYbrid traits and what are they
In some cases when a hybrid is born, there's a small chance they will be born with a very unique trait that bears little to no resemblance to their parents or the parent's Traits. This new coloration and pattern can be passed down onto their own children, but is still considered a hybrid species, and not an actual species. This is called a Hybrid Trait. A Hybrid Trait can be passed on, and mixed with other Traits like any regular Main Traits. There are several different confirmed Hybrid Traits.
ChalkAlesvandr x Norh
The Chalk Hybrid is a quite unique Hybrid Trait, thanks to their black ears and their partial dorsal mane. They are born from an Alesvandr mother and a Norh father, and are somewhat rare. Their trait is Chalk.
BODYBeing a mix of two very different species, the Chalk wolf has a small body with thick fur. They have a partial dorsal mane that extends from the top of their head down their backs. Sometimes this mane can be longer, or shorter depending on each invidual. Sometimes it can extend further down the head, but usually doesn't cover eyes or much of the forehead.
ABILLITIES These wolves have the ability to withstand sub-zero tempratures and can travel for hours and hours without stopping. They have the Norh's stamina and endurance, combined with an Alesvandr's speed and agility.

Chalk
Stats
|
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
They come in very light and pale white/gray and gray colors. They always have a mane on the back of their necks down their backs, and they always have black-lined ears. While they often have pale-colors, sometimes they can have a little black markings like the Alesvandr. They have a Birman-cat like pattern and coloration, and will always have a dark face-mask, legs and tail. They will often have white markings as well. Their manes are either white, or black. Another notable detail about this Hybrid Trait is that they have blue mouths. Their trait is called Chalk.
TEMPRAMENT & Behaviour
The Chalk wolf prefer a life of wandering and travel. They don't like to settle down, and prefer to always keep searching for new hunting-grounds, water and places to sleep. They are also known to be great hunters, thanks to their Norh blood, and are known to distrupt Norh hunting grounds by disturbing herds of prey. They can be calm and easy to approach, but they can also take after their Alesvandr heritage and be quite snarky and bullies because of their incredible endurance.
AlgaeBasir x Caedric
The Algae wolf is the result of a Hybrid Trait between a Basir mother with the Kelp Trait and Caedric father with the Twilight Trait. These are considered one of the more rare Hybrid Traits due to the rarity of the Twilight Traits.
BODYBecause of the very different body types of the parents, the Algae's have a very unique body. They have a very furry and scruffy neck and shoulders, combined with the Basir'd waterproof fur. What stands out about them the most is their long tail with a fluffy end, a combination of the two tails from the parents' species.
ABILLITIES The Algae wolves have inherited the powerful bite from their Basir side; being able to crush almost anything they get their jaws around. They are also able to smell blood from miles and miles away, but hasn't inherited the Blood Clot ability from their Caedric parents, as this ability is unique to a second Basir and Caedric hybrid Trait. They are also able to hold their breaths underwater for nearly an hour.

Algae
Stats
|
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
Because of their unique coloring and combinations, they don't really look similar to most other species. They come in mostly three colors; Black, gray and green. Their main body will always be covered in a very dark and green-hued fur color, with gray patterns and green-ish markings that comes from their Kelp side. They will only ever have these colors and the contrast can be quite notiable. Unlike the Twilight where they can only have dark gray and black colors, these wolves will always have lighter markings, but usually never white. They will also always have green markings that compliment the flow of their pattern. The greens will usually be quite light and not too dark. The green color can vary in contrast and saturation, as long as it doesn't look too unnatural or too "glowy." They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops). Their trait is called Algae.
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
The Algae lives a very solitary life, and prefers to stay alone. Feeling unwelcome in both species, they tend to either mix in with other outcasts or live as a loner. They are usually calm, silent and observant, before a storm unleashes, very similar to the ocean. They can live both on land and live as sub-aquatics, it all depends on their wishes and wants. They are very invidual and confident in their abilities and wants.
CarmineBasir x Caedric
The Carmine wolf is another Basir and Caedric Hybrid Trait. Unlike the Algae, these wolves have quite a different behaviour and take mostly after their Caedric roots. The Carmine's are born from a Basir father (any trait) and a Caedric mother (Laterite). Because of their abilities, they are often targetted by bounty hunters.
BODYWhile their physical body takes mostly after the Caedrics, they are quite small, and they're only slightly larger than a Basir. They have small, solid and robust bodies with a thick and furry neck and a long brushy tail. Their tail is very similar to the Basir, and they can use it in both fighting and to help them stay blalanced and swim quick in water.

Carmine
Stats
|
ABILLITIES
The Carmine has inherited their Caedric's side ability, where they're able to clot their blood when exposed to air to stop bleeding, making them able to last much longer in fights. They have also a mutated ability, which is reduced pain. They simply do not feel any strong pain at all, which makes them beasts when it comes to fighting. The pain will only come back after the fight when they sleep but in such small amounts they barely feel it, which has made them a very scary enemy to fight, unable to stop because of pain or beacause of bloodloss, which is where their name comes from.
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
The Carmine wolf looks very similar to their Caedric side, however they have one notable difference: They will always have small pools and markings of blue color in their fur. They are often also more vibrant than the Caedrics, and often feature black markings. They will always have blue markings, and stripes on their feet. While not always the case, they will also often have colored toes, but this is not a requirement. Their fur comes in shades of red and redish-burgundy. They can have darker red for markings, as well as black, blue, creamy and white. They are generally not very dark, aside from their black markings.They will also always have a lighter egg-shell colored underbelly/underside and darker tops.
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
Known to be quite aggressive, they are never afraid to back down from a fight. They are aware of their strenghts, and these Hybrids if born within a Caedric society that accepts them, will train them from a very young age to be loyal to their Caedric kin. They are confident and bold, and curious by nature. While they are direct and can be confrontational, they don't tend to hold grudges, mostly because they tend to kill their opponent if a fight breaks out. In some very rare cases they can take more after their Basir side, and be more calmer and friendlier.
HeatherNorh x Caedric
The Heather wolf is commonly just referred to as the Heather wolf. They're the result of a Hybrid Trait sometimes occouring between a Norh (Geysir) and a Caedric (Laterite) where their pelt combines into a new and unique trait that strongly resemblence heather. Their tempraments are quite unique, not to mention their hybrid abilities.
BodyAs a result of two large and strong species, the Heather wolf is smaller than both of their parent species, standing just under the size of a Caedric. They are also lighter weight, but they have complete survivability. They have long fur at their neck and the shoulders, as well as the end of their backs with a fluffy rumb and a fluffy, flexible tail. Sometimes Heather wolves are seen curling the tip of their tail similar to a squirrel. They also have very fluffy paws that keep their feet warm if they live in a colder climate. They also have slight scruff on their ears, and long cheek fur.
ABILLITIES Due to a mutation in their genes, the Heather wolf gained complete survivability. They can adapt almost anywhere, and can thrive in packs made of species that are not their own or their kin. They're hardy, and where they lack in magical abillities, they make up for it in high survival rate and thick skin, as well as their extreme agility. They're able to balance walking on ropes or vines, can climb up steep, almost vertical surfaces and they're able to withstand extreme weather and winds. Their bite force has taken a toll, and while they don't have a strong bite, they have sharp teeth that can cut skin if enough force is put behind it.

COLORATION & APPEARANCE
The Heather wolf, like their name, takes on a resemblence to natural heather that can be found all across Velost Helshire. They take after their parents, and will come with a base color of beige, sandy or very pale red with a lighter underside with a similar hue to their main body color. They can have a few light and a few dark markings, but they're generally light. Their markings and patterns can come in a variety of colors, mostly it's a combination of shades of orange, pale red, burgundy or beige. They don't have reds that are too saturated, and mostly are very desaturated if they have red colors. Sometimes they have gray too. They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops)
They also have light noses, and their gums are usually colored darker than their noses.
They also have light noses, and their gums are usually colored darker than their noses.
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
Taking after their Caedric and Norh sides, the Heather wolf are quite confident and stubborn. They're protective of what they hold dear, and if agitated can be quite short-tempered. They are usually calm, busy thinking and lost in their own thoughts. They like to travel, but also because of their adaptability, they do like to stay in small packs with other species where they will do well, but some inviduals likes to stay alone or with a partner. A lot of Heather wolves are said to have a proud underside and 'resting bitch faces' when they're resting. However, they're usually very welcoming and open to help if someone needs them.
PineBasir x Joundra
Pine, despite their uniqueness, is one of the most rarest of wolf species in Velost Helshire, a result of a Joundra and a Sand Basir. Due to their heritage, they have almost completely died out. Because no more can be born, their numbers are dwindling, and the only ones remaining live in a pack far in the south near the Deep Forest. They are known for their abilities in trees, and navigating their entire lives without needing to touch solid ground.
BODYSimilar to a Joundra, the Pine wolf has a very rough and scruffy fur. While their backs are more smooth, they're generally fluffy. They have a long mane, very fluffy ears and cheeks, and fluffy chests. They have rough and uneven fur around their paws, and their tail is very unique where it curls at the end and never seems to fully bend out flat. They have a very flexible tail, and can curl it almost completely along their back, not too differently than squirrels. They also feature long, white claws and a differently shaped paw pad that helps them grip trees and branches when they navigate through through the trees. They lack the powerful Basir jaw strenght, but they've developed long fangs that helps them when hunting or when fighting. They are about the size of a Basir.

Pine
Stats
|
ABILLITIES
Thanks to their flexible tail and their uniquely shaped paws and claws, these wolves can completely navigate trees and tight spaces between branches. They've learned to hunt in the trees above the ground in the Deep Forest, where everything is hostile. They've adapted to this hostile life style, and have learned how to survive. But because of this, they generally are quite small and doesn't have the best of bites, but their long fangs cause a lot of heavy bleeding, so they will usually catch something small, or bleed larger prey items and follow them from above. They will also often use their claws to fight as well, causing a lot of bleed damage with both of their attacks.
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
The Pine wolf is very dull in color, taking after the Basir's Sand making their color palette somewhat dull and desaturated. They have a high contrast cream underside, and gray-brown top as well as some dull blue markings. A trademark of their species is their dorsal black stripe, that starts at their head and goes all the way out to the tail, and this stripe is never missing. They also always have a half-circle black marking around their eyes. They are not as vibrant as the Mire, and mostly stay dull aside from their more saturated sand colors. They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops)
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
The Pine wolf, being so isolated from the rest of the packs and rarely venturing out, are quite hostile to outsiders and rarely trusts anyone that isn't one of their kind or have been living with them. They also sometimes can be bit of pranksters to outsiders to scare them out of their territory. They are however, patient and very observant, used to waiting for hours or days at a time to take down a big prey. Like the Joundra, they're can be completely silent when they walk, and can easily sneak up on unsuspecting prey, or other wolves. If they do find outsiders in their territory that are in need for help, they will usually bring them up into the trees and then let them figure out how to get out of the Deep Forest on their own.

LagoonMysbel x Norh
The Lagoon wolf has been quite a mystery throughout the decades, unknown of origins and it's true heritage. It wasn't before more recent years more of the Lagoon Hybrid Trait began to appear, and finally putting the mystery to an end. The Lagoon wolf, while bearing a resemblence to the Basir, is an Argent Norh and Royal Mysbel Hybrid. These wolves are very rare, but not as rare as the Pine.
BODYCombined of two very different body-types, the Lagoon wolf takes from both parental species. They have a very thick fur coat on the front of their body, and shorter, more solid fur at the back half. They have a thick hanging fur "cloak" on the base of the shoulder that hangs down not too different than a cloak. They have a long, fluffy tail that slightly hangs out similar to the Mysbel. But the most unique part of their physical body is their nose; a slithed nose similar to that of a seal, which has made them sub-aquatic, hence why they were so long thought to have been a Basir Hybrid because of their ability to hold their breaths for a while.
ABILLITIES The Lagoon wolf, while not being the fastest, has an incredible stamina pool and could gallop for an entire day without needing to rest. They can outstamina all of their prey items, and it's said being chased by one of these is the last thing you want as you simply cannot escape from them unless you're fast enough and lose them. However, thanks to their Mysbel blood, they have a very good eyesight and a very good sense of smell, able to expand their nostrils to take in more scents and information.

Lagoon
STATS
|
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
Thanks to their wide variety of colors, they come in pretty unique color combination. They will usually have a light gray colored base with white underside markings. They will often times have a dark gray color as well, especially covering their entire tails. Combining the two traits, the Lagoon wolf will always feature some kind of purple/pink and blue markings in harmonic pattern and coloration matches, making them truly stand out. While not super saturated, they can sometimes be slightly more saturated than the example given to truly make them bright and stand out. They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops)
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
Calm, proud and regal, the Lagoon wolf holds their heads high and tails up. Stubborn by nature, they never say no to a fair challenge. They usually demand respect when they lend their aid to other wolves, but some inviduals can be more humble. They love to run and love to travel and explore, mapping out areas to sell, so they rarely stick around in one place, and doesn't mind being loners and sticking to themselves so they can just keep travelling without having to stop and wait. Beacuse of their small stomachs but slow food drop rate, they can usually fill up their hunger really fast and doesn't need to stop often.
Note, currently cannot be used in the ARPG
ObsidianCaedric x Caedric
The Obsidian wolf is considered one of the rarest of them all. They are not born naturally, however the circumstanecs around their birth and appearance are not known. While known mostly as the Elusive Obsidian wolf, they're also often referred to as the Warning Wolf. They are known for being very powerful with abilities and powers in all the different skills regular Raj have.
BODYTheir bodies are sturdy and lean, with long curly and soft fur especially around their cheeks, neck, rumb, tail and elbows. Being a Laterite Caedric and a Twilight Caedric, their body bears little resemblence to both. Their tail is the most unique, being long and very flat with featherly edges. They can spread their tail out like that of a fan and cover a large area similar to that of peafowls.
ABILLITIES Lacking the same physical strenght of their Laterite parents, they are known to be extremely talented in magic and spell casting. They can make seals, break curses and undo magical bindings. They also have a very mysterious bite; if bitten by an Obsidian wolf, the wolf their bit's body will slowly turn to stone. This ability requires a lot of training and focus, and the most it will do is leave patches of dead fur in their opponents' body but nothing more than that. They are also known to have a reflective light with some of their markings if near a light source, similar to that of reflection of animal eyes.

COLORATION & APPEARANCE
The Obsidian wolf comes in very dark purple/red colors. While they commonly come in shades of vibrant, bright purple, they can have duller purple colors too. They are also known for having very bright highlight markings that's very light and bright pink-ish colors. They are generally very dark. Some Obsidian wolves comes in almost completely pitch black with only a few hightlight markings, though this is very rare. They say that the Obsidian wolf's purple markings can glow faintly in the dark if shown to a light like a reflection and shimmer in the sunlight
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
Not much is known about the Obsidian wolf, as they have faded into legends and myth. They're said to be calm, but very direct and outgoing thanks to some mythical abilities legends have told about them. Because of their mysterious origins, many Obsidian wolves struggle to find their rightful place and where they belong in the world. Generally they are seen as calm, majestic and elusive, but they can have a temper and be more snappy if something doesn't go their way. They can do well in packs but also fine being solidary.
currently the Obsidian wolf cannot be used in the ARPG or be made as fan character if not won in a raffle
DetritusJoundra x Basir
Detritus, also sometimes simply referred to as a leaf wolf or a leaf litter wolf, is one of the more unique hybrid species to have popped up through out the years. Being a Joundra and Basir hybrid, it took them a while to find their rightful place, but they have become a highly adaptable species, able to adapt to almost any enviroment. They can also be born from Joundra hybrids.
BODYAt first glance, the Detritus wolf doesn't share a lot of similarities with the parent species. They are tall, lean and somewhat lanky. They have long hind legs, and a dent in their back where their hips start. They have long, curly and fluffy fur all over their bodies, especially at their feet, cheeks and end of their tail. They have very uniquely shaped ears, long and very pointed at the end. It's said they walk with feet lifted high as if they carry themselves with pride.
ABILLITIES Aside from their stunning appearance, the Detritus have some very unique abilities. Similar to the Joundra, they don't need to eat that often. They get a bonus from eating meat with berries, that fills them above the food amount they can carry and allows them to gorge themselves each time they eat. Thanks to their speed and agility, they prefer to out-manouver their opponents and strike them with a deadly bite at the very back of their necks or directly under the throat. They can jump incredibly high, as if they have springs attached to their hind feet. They can also sense vibrations in the ground, and will use their enviroment to their advantage, such as listening to the birds' warning calls.

Detritus
STATS
|
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
The Detritus can come in two color variants: Blue and Green. Their main bodies will always feature a brown, slightly saturated brown color, with an eggshell/creamy light color for their secondary markigns and a dark blue darker marking that will always cover (at least) their heads and tip of their tails, but it can extend further down the neck or up the tail too. While both variants can often have a purple color, they will either always have blue markings, or green markings. They will never have both, but always have either. They resemblence leaf litter on sunlight and shaded forest ground. They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops)
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
The Detritus can be quite cheeky, often having a temper and can make themselves feel quite irritated if things doesn't go how they want them to go. They can be tricksters, being bold to test the water and see what they can get away with and can be quite sneaky. Once outsiders gets to know them however, they're generally quite calm and will joke around with them, even taking on a more confident role to protect those weaker than them. They are very dependent and reliable, and can be trusted to hold their own in a fight. When they fight, they like to tease their opponents and eachother, and try and one-up their packmates or comrades. They like to stay in small clans mixed with other species. What they love most is to lay in the shade of trees and simply sleep. They also like to give eachother personal nicknames.
SeasaltNorh x Basir
The Seasalt wolf is a very unique Hybrid Trait, born from a Norh (Argent) and Basir (Seabird) parent. Not only do they have a very unique coloring and physical traits, they are one of the few species with clear differences between male and females.
BODYTheir bodies, being mixed with such different body and fur types, have adapted to a sub-aquatic life. They live on the coastlines and prefer the water edges. Their short but thick fur is waterproof and can withstand tempratures below freezing point, both above and in water. They are known for their long tails and unique 'tail' fur appearances on their rumbs. This additional fur can not be moved as its just fur with no muscle or bone structures.
Females have more fluff on the ears, shorter fur on their neck and bellies. Their tails are longer, and their rumb fur is long and often drags along the ground. They are more slender and agile than males Males have scruffier fur on their necks and bellies, and shorter but thicker and scruffier rumb fur. Their tails are also shorter and their ears lack the fluffyness the females have. ABILLITIES Aside from their abilities to withstand cold tempratures, they're able to hold their breaths for up to an hour. While they lack the bite force of the Basir, their bite is still noteable and very powerful. Their long tails allows them to steer in water easily, making them swift and agile hunters in water.

Seasalt
STATS
|
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
Taking after their name, the Seasalts come in very light gray, white (never pure white), blue/teal/pink hued colorations. They're pale and don't have a lot of contrast. Their markings vary between lighter and a little darker, but never too dark or black. They will always feature spots/freckles randomly on their bodies, and these spots may change as they grow as its the edges of their fur that becomes white and will change when the wolf sheds. They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops)
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
The Seasalts live in very pack-oriented families, where they group up with members of their own kind. They may share large kills with other packs of their species, but they prefer to keep to their own packs. Females are more agile and slender than the males, and will often hunt while the males guards and patrols their territories. Females are the ones that will often lead courtship, using their appendages to impress males. They're often described as calm, graceful and impressive, but like the sea, they can be unpredictable. They are more silent and observant with a high resiliance and sense of self-preservation. They're hardy and sturdy though, and their loyality should not be tested. They can have attitudes though. Packs are often made up by a chosen individual, or a wolf that fights other competitors to become the leader. The role will often be passed on to the next strongest individual, or challenged by another wolf.
ArmeriaMysbel x Basir
The Armeria is a fairly recent Hybrid Trait that was recognized as a Trait only recently, but it's documented to have been around for much longer than that. Despite being around for a long time, they are not very common.
BODYTheir bodies are a mix of compact and slender. They have very long fur around their necks and around the bases of their tail, with a long thick-furred tail that helps them swimming. They have small-ish ears and short claws. While their fur is short and compact on their bodies, their long fur and manes makes it hard for them to stay in water for long. They also lack the fat the Basir has, so they prefer to not go into cold water unless they have to. Females are known to spend more time in and around water than males.
Females are more fluffy than males, and they have a more compact and thick-furred tail. They have especially more fur around their necks and chest, as well as base of the tail and rumb. Males are more compact-furred overall, with shorter tail around the rumb but with a longer and more elogated tail that is not used for much swimming. They have fluffier chests and cheek fur with short, thick fur at the back of their necks. They are also more sturdy buildt than females. ABILLITIES The Armerias lack the physical jaw strength from their Basir, but they have inherited a high magical affinity than their Mysbel side. They have incredible stamina and endurance, and can keep a light gallop for hours at a time without having to rest.

Armeria
STATS
|
COLORATION & APPEARANCE
The Armeria come in a very unique coloring, almost similar to Solaius. They're pale yellow and slightly orange-gold hued, but they will always feature black markings as well as pink-purple markings on their bodies. Sometimes however the purple colors have been replaced by a pale yellow color instead. They're not very vibrant in the yellows, but the black makes them stand out. They are, however, noted to not have Wildcard eye-colors. They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops).
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
The Armeria's are noted to have quite a variety in their personalities. They seem to not mind drifting from place to place, learning about cultures and new things that are unknown to them. They're quite curious and testy, and can sometimes get into trouble because of it. They are also known to be quite brave and corageous, often stepping up to defend other species if there's a threat. But they still have shown a large pool of various personalities depending on where they grew up. Around the coast, they're most like Basirs, while inlands they are more like Mysbels.
AuroraCaedric x Norh
The Aurora is often believed to be a myth, as they are so rare most wolves haven't even heard of them. They're a unique and rare hybrid trait that occoured a long time ago between a Norh and a Twilight Caedric, and like their name, they are often considered one of the most prettier Hybrid Traits.
BODYTheir bodies are sturdy, covered in fluffy fur all over, especially on their backs. They have developed a very thick-long coated fur that hangs down the side almost like a cloak, and it is especially long on males. Females have more fluffy backs compared to the males, who have longer fur overlaps on their sides. They also have straight ears with little tufts of fur on the end. The females have only one strand of fur, while the males always have three. They have thick and very fluffy tails they use to protect themselves against the cold.
ABILLITIES The Aurora, like their name, has a connection to the stars and the aurora borealis. They can draw energy directly from the dancing lights on the norhtern skies and use it directly to fuel their magical energy, giving them one of the highest Crest strenghts at night-time if the Borealis is visible in the night sky.

Taking mostly after their Twilight side, their fur coats will always be very dark gray and black with very little contrast. However what sets them apart is their markigns and highlights; they are one of the few species that will have rather intricate-looking markings that resemble the Northern Lights, and their backs will always be a dark blue, green or teal color that covers their neck, fur overlap and some more of their back, as if they've been touched by the Northern Lights. They will also have lighter highlights to their fur that can come in more unnatural-looking shapes and colors. They will all usually have countershading (lighter underbelly, darker tops)
TEMPRAMENT & BEHAVIOUR
So little is known about these wolves that there is no record of their personality or temprament. They're said to be very adaptable, following the flow and the herds of prey where it goes. More about them is currently unknown...
