Water Tribe

# General Information

**Physical Attributes:** Water Tribe members are often found being slightly chubby with sleek, shiny fur due to their main source of food. They have powerful legs and webbed paws for swimming through churning and rapid waters. One of the most remarkable portions about the physic of Water Tribe is the ability to sprint across water for a brief moments, alongside their ability to hold their breaths under water for longer than most, typically averaging half an hour. This can be increased, with training! Water tribe canines have coat colors varying from greys to blueish colors and some variants of brown.

**Mental Attributes:** Most Water Tribe members typically have the same mindset, in that they're strong willed and confident, believing strongly in what they do and not parting from their beliefs. Sometimes, considered a little too stubborn. Pups are brought up to believe in what they wish; to believe in their gut and stick with it. Water Tribe are more tightly knit than the other tribes and see each other as family. Elders often tell tales to trainees, while trainees often help the elders, and powers help wherever they can in bringing prey and other resources. It is strange to find a wolf who keeps strongly to them self.

# Territory

**Preferred Prey:** As Water Tribe thrives around Bogs, Lakes, rivers and other water sources, the tribe thrives on large fish, ducks, geese, and turtles. Rare delicacy may be eels and on extremely rare occasions gator.

**Hunting Specialties:** Water tribe has multiple hunting specialties ranging from traditions to every day limitations.
- If a canine goes out hunting and finds a piece of prey that is injured or caught in a Upwalker trap or trash, they are to leave it be or try to set it free. This is so things can run their course or the animal could go out and produce more prey. It is also said most dogs would rather have their prey caught with a fair chance.
- When Pups graduate the nursery they are sent to a small pool in camp full of minnows to catch, the fish for their mothers in gratitude for raising them. If they can not catch said fish, they will be held back another moon as they are not ready to begin training.
- Members of the pack have a competition at the rapids to see who can catch the biggest eel. Though this is Limited to only the more experienced members due to it being dangerous.
- Water tribe has multiple "nets" of reeds set up throughout the territory kept deep within the water. This makes it easy for fish and other water dwelling creatures to get caught inside to be caught later.

**Territory:** Water tribe's territory is primarily water based with small strips of land and marshy strips between the mass water areas. Marshland, Bogs, Waterfalls and rivers are splayed across the land before falling out into the ocean.

(See Water Tribe's territory for more information).

**Camp:** Water tribe's camp is a small island surrounded by water with large Willow trees rooting up through the ground, leaning over the island covering it with shade and protection, almost keeping it hidden. The Willows branches act as a "shield" keeping the camp enclosed and out of sight. The dens are made up of fallen willows, reeds and mud. The Alpha's den is at the base of the tree, hidden beneath its roots with the highstone above on a sturdy willow branch. The Herbalist den is also tucked away not far from the Alpha's den with a tiny stream trickling forth as a "curtain".
