Karak

The karak is a large animal native to the continent of Truyea. Separated into more than a dozen species, the karak is a wild animal that can rarely be trained or domesticated. It is usually found in temperate areas and is similar in size and shape to a wolf, or large wild dog, with a wider neck and head and two pointed canine teeth, like that of a sabertooth.
In much of the content of Truyea, the karak is seen as one of the primary sources of meat alongside the deer, the cow, and the chicken. Its meat, when cooked, has a rich, earthy taste to it, and in some places karak meat is considered a delicacy. It exists as a natural predator to the deer, and karaks often hunt in packs of three to six, reaching speeds of more than 30 miles per hour.
In Duscador, and Duscadorian culture, the karak is considered a sacred animal, and the killing and eating of a karak is seen as a grievous entreatment of evil spirits. Karaks rarely attack humans or other races unless provoked, and live in the wild either alone or in large packs of more than 20 or 30 karaks.
