Western Hellhounds (looking for better name)

Hellhounds are a species of canid-like monotremes that are known for their peculiarly large and fleshy beaked heads. The species can be found across the Northeastern Forests of the Western Continent, and the Northern Islands of the Central Archipelago.
== Subspecies ==
There are two major varieties of Hellhounds, the Mainland Variety and the Island Variety. The biggest influence for the differences between the two subspecies is the competition they have to deal with in their environments. Where the mainland variety has many strong competitors, the island variety have far fewer and more comparable competitors. This advantage that the island variety have is often believed thanks to the fact that hellhounds aren't necessarily native to the islands and are essentially an invasive species introduced by the Ancient Reynas-fow'l.

The reason why Island hellhounds even exist is believed to be thanks to the influences of the Ancient Reynas-fow'l, having once used a domesticated form of the creature to deal with rodent problems on their ancient ships. Apparently, some of these ship pets managed to get free on the islands that the once proud sailors made landfall on and have ever since thrived.

== Behavior ==
=== Mainland Variety ===
This subspecies of Hellhound is known for their more aggressive and opportunistic tendencies, fulfilling a lion/hyena niche where they scavenge and get into big packs to steal kills from other bigger stronger predators. This behavior is attributed to the competitive environment these creatures live in, having to contend with powerful forest predators, like Great wolves, wyverns and the dominating Gote, a species of bear that lives around the Coen Keuute Region.
