Shikaaree

The shikaaree replaced its ancestor the Great Megalaukjaw. The shikaaree has furthered its evolution as a swift social hunter. It has developed larger eyes and more complex ears. The brain of the shikaaree has become more advanced to better socialize and plan strategies. They became slightly smaller since they live in bigger groups. Being lighter, they can move faster to maneuver around prey. More of their body is covered by spikes which are finer now.

Shikaarees live in social packs of 20 to 30 members. They have many forms of vocalization to communicate with each other. Packs have hierarchy established by social interactions.

During the spring, shikaarees will mate based on their social status. After mating, each female will make a nest of dirt and debris. When born, the offspring look like immature version of adults. Males will help take care of nests and raise offsprings of females they mated with. The females will bring their offspring partially digested meat and later chucks of meat until they can hunt with the pack. Offspring will play and practice socializing. It takes 10 years for a shikaaree to mature.
