Animals

The Animals are gang operating in Night City. 
==Overview==
The Animals are an aggressive street-fighting gang without permanent turf in Night City, but who put emphasis on physical power above all else. They are known for eschewing traditional cyberware in favor custom-brewed body enchantments such as ultra-testosterone and animal supplements (including equine growth hormones) in order to makes themselves bigger and stronger. Despite being considered purists by some, they are not against using a number of body-enhancing implants like pain editors, subdermal armors, combat drug injectors, or augmented cyberlimbs. If someone looks like their muscles are so large that they are about to burst, they are probably an Animal. Their most used beverage is a notorious steroid-like drug known as the "Juice" which increases the user's strength, size and speed, but causes several health risk problems. The Animals are a gang that focuses on achieving peak human strength, and for them, the term "concrete jungle" is literal in that they respect brawniness and ability above all else.Juice - Top 8 Dangers
Experienced brawlers and trained in various forms of martial arts, Animals are keen on cage fights, duels, and other displays of brute physical force. They frequently sell off their services as bouncers and bodyguards, jobs for which they are heavily sought after, and are spread throughout Night City. Its members typically wear tattoos and hooligan hoods as well as some artificial animalistic features ranging from purely cosmetic changes like spotted or stripped skin and subdermal implants to extreme plastic surgery and cybernetic modifications like bestial jaws, and vat-grown implanted muscles. Some Animal members are known for their exotics.
===Philosophy and Structure===
The Animals are fascinated with the feral, primal side of human nature. They view this aspect as the border between man and animal, and are each on a personal quest to establish themselves as a new dominant human subspecies. To achieve this, they constantly subject themselves to brutal and violent tests of skill. They will often take on dangerous cyber-implanted opponents to prove they are better, not matter if they are from other dangerous gangs, the NCPD, or corporate forces. They train in fighting sports not for philosophical reasons but to sharpen their effectiveness in combat.
Internal gang relations are equally animalistic. On their own impermanent turf, Animals are divided into small "packs" led by the biggest and strongest member, the alpha male or female. Disputes are often solved with trial by combat, which is fought until one side completely submitted.
===Criminal Activity and Sources of Income===
Animals are mostly known for their ultraviolent raids on residential districts and other gangs' home turf. They also organize illegal underground fights and manufacture and sell drugs, mostly custom brew anabolic steroids. A few packs specialize in raiding drug stores, chemical transport, pharmaceutical companies, and drug dealers. Some hire themselves out as bodyguards or bouncers for a large number of businesses such as brothels, strip clubs, corporations, etc. and some are even racketeers who specialize in extortion and assault.
==History==
In 2077, Sasquatch and her pack were hired by NetWatch to guard their operations in the Grand Imperial Mall of the Pacifica combat zone. NetWatch's objective was to stop the local Voodoo Boys from interacting with the Blackwall, and employed the Animals to protect them and hide their presence from any intruders that accessed the mall.I Walk the Line
