Ark

These intelligent man-dogs grow up to 3 meters high (standing on their hind legs). They are ferocious enemies, but have a deathly fear of large winged creatures. Left to their own means Arks of the wild carry primative tribal weapons and most wear leather, or studded leather armor, and carry shields. Their coarse, heavy fur also offers substantial protection. Arks hunt all other species as food. They consider Human (or Humanoid) hands to be a particular delicacy.
==Ark Society==
Ark society is generally pack like in nature, with the leader being the toughest among them, as well as the only male with whom the females may mate. As he grows older, one of his pack will challange his authority, killing him, and often consuming his hands so as to obsorb his power of command. The cycle will inevitably repeat as the new leader to, grows old.
==Mutations==
*Fear Impulse: Arks have developed an impuslive fear of large winged creatures (an example would be the Yexil). Upon encountering such an entity an Ark will flee for up to twenty minutes in blind fear, and if unable to flee, will fall unconscious for up to eight minutes.
*Telekinesis: Arks can mentally lift objects, other then the self, into the air, and move them about. Any attempt to move a living entity should be treated as an attack, and is quite a bit more difficult. Arks have been reported as able to lift up to 100 kilograms using this power.
*Wealther Manipulation: A rather complicated power, Arks can make small changes to the current weather with in 1 kilometer of themselves, so long as they keep concentrating. For example, an Ark couldn't change the temperature from 0 to 100, though an Ark might be able to alter the temperature by 20 degrees. An Ark tribe will typically use this power to create fog cover (45% Sucess Rate) for ambushes upon unwitting travelers. Though they excell at creating light rain (65% Sucess Rate) which can prove demoralizing to armies, or hindering to travelers.
*Life Leech: An Ark may drain life energy from sentient beings with in up to 60 meters of themselves, allowing them to treat all wounds sustained. An Ark however can only absorb so much life force in a day, and this energy leaves them with in 24 hours. This power is none selective when used, and drains both ally, and foe alike.
