Canuans can be either carnivores or omnivores depending on their breed, stand around 6 feet tall, and generally weight between 100 and 300 pounds usually. They speak common as well as their own native language: canuanese.
Combat[edit]
Canuans typically prefer to travel and hunt in small packs that move quickly at night. Their preferred tactic is to surround their enemy after chasing it down and then overwhelming it as the pack closes in.
Culture and Lifestyle[edit]
There are many breeds of canuan. Some appear more like dogs while others appear more like wolves. As a result they are known to live in villages in all sorts of environments all across the Kaltamorn region. Some villages are in better communication with nearby towns or cities while others are more isolated. Their culture is usually built around loyalty and contributing for the good of the pack.
