Lynxes

((Sometimes described as a "wolf with panther's spots", the Lynx is their own species. With large paws, a thick coat of fur, and excellent poise, the Lynx prefers the colder, northern regions, and usually isn't found south of the Walls of Calabria. Besides the spots, their most notable characteristics are the tufts of black hair on the tips of their ears.
With their keen senses and fast reflexes, they make excellent scouts mercenaries… Yes, that also means they make excellent outlaws, because few can can match their speed in the high hills and mountaintops. Most fearsome are the Lynx hermits who study the Wilding Ways. It is said that a Lynx Atavist's teeth can split a man in half in just one bite.))
== Anatomy and Physiology ==
The typical lynx is a four-limbed, mammalian bipedal Feralian of average size. They have long whiskers, a short, dark-tipped tail, tufts of dark fur on the tips of their ears, a ruff of long fur around the sides of the face and the neck, and large, well-padded paws.
Typical of their feline nature, most lynxes have well-balanced, muscular bodies with long limbs, well-suited for jumping and moving quietly. They have unusual oval-shaped pupils, seemingly the inbetween of the slit shape used by their smaller cousins the Common Cats and the round shape used by their larger cousins the Cougars. Their hands have five fingers while their feet have four toes, each connected to sharp, retractable claws.
The standard body color of lynxes may vary from a bright goldish-brown, to a medium brown, to beige-white. Their coats are often marked with dark spots, especially on the limbs, though some individuals have little to no spotting. In all cases, they have cream or white fur on their chests, stomachs, and the insides of their legs.
All-black, all-white, and piebald lynxes have also been seen, but these traits are rare and tend to run in families.
The colouring, fur length and paw size of Lyxes tend to vary according to the climate the live in. Those found in warm areas such as Yindu or the southern parts Calabria typically have short fur in darker, more saturated colors and smaller, less padded paws. Those found in cold climates such as northern Calabria or Govorya tend to have thicker, lighter-colored fur and large, heavily padded paws, suited for walking on snow.
