Bushwolves

Bushwolves (singular: bushwolf) are pack-hunting predatory marsupials native to the plains and steppes of Al-Wazif.GURPS Banestorm, p.219 They are remarkably similar to the now-extinct thylacines, or Tasmanian tigers, and may in fact be the same, although they're slightly larger--possibly due to their adaptation to more plentiful food sources.
== Behavior ==
Bushwolves feed primarily on small grazing animals and ground birdsthese may include the horse-sized Striders of Al-Wazif, wearing them down in long, slow chases. They will readily prey on sheep/woolens, hardings, and other small livestock of Yrth.
=== Notes ===
== Outworld Poaching ==
Due to their Tasmanian tiger appearance, the Bushwolves of Yrth are highly prized by notorious outworlder groups like the Swagmen, finding buyers on every TL7- timeline where they went extinct. Homeline's Nature Conservancy group is keenly interested in bushwolves, but has had trouble mounting a full outworld rescue operation on an R2 classed world.fanon
== Fanon Tactics ==
The default stats for bushwolves are somewhat low compared to domestic dogs, save for their massive bite. They have barely enough raw speed and endurance to hunt striders, as their maximum speed is Move 9. They are implied to be stamina-based hunters, so they're likely to need higher FP, Fit, or other traits to allow them to chase down prey.
