Description

"Who exactly are the Heavytimber wolf Pack?"

"Like their sister the Swiftwood, the Heavytimber wolves descended from the Ancient Pack during the Eternal Freeze. After the divide of the wolves who fled from the wrath of the hungry Dire to form the Swiftwood, the remains became the founders of the Heavytimbers. Though at the time, they were just called Titans. Many of the original Dire died out as their large game became all but extinct. They still carry Dire blood in their blood, as the Heavytimber breed is famous for their large build with a broad, blocky head and shoulders. Heavytimbers possess short legs and aren't made for speed but endurance.

From the ashes of the Titan wolves came the mighty Bigfoot, who took charge of the small numbers and lead his brothers and sisters from the depths of extinction. It was then they took the name Heavytimber once they lay claim over the great forests in Azi. It was there they found the Swiftwood in the Meadow territory. Unexpressed hatred came to a boiling head, hearts blazing in agony over the fall of the Ancient Pack.

The Swiftwood and Heavytimber swore death upon the other for eachother's own betrayal. It is still to this day do the two Packs wedge war. Some say the murder of a rival Pack member is a call for celebration, which their neighbors the Treewalker often frown at. Bigfoot started the Heavytimber ritual for wearing skull masks after he slew a cougar that was terrorizing the three Packs. As a result, the Heavytimber carry on the tradition.

Many believe Bigfoot's death was an assassination but there has never been any proof. His mask was never found to this day. Though, its not often his suspicious death is used as an excuse to provoke constant war and murders for Swiftwood blood..."

Traits: Heavytimber wolves are very short and stout, possessing very short legs. They are poor runners as a result but can travel far distance with a high endurance level. During a hunt, they are a deadly Pack, tracking their prey for several hours or even days without tiring. This Pack is known to be very war-oriented, always picking fights with the neighboring clans of wolves. They are most identifiable by their skull masks and makeshift armor.

First Alpha: Bigfoot

Territory: The Woodlands

Fur: Their fur is thick and rough to touch. Heavytimbers are known to have the heaviest fur coat of all the wolves and benefit through the winter months. Heavytimbers usually have dark colored fur to blend in with the shadowy surroundings they dwell in.

Temperament: Hot-tempered, determined, deadly, proud and unwelcoming of outsiders [They aren't evil however, just a very war-oriented Pack!]

Facts:

Heavytimbers have a huge fascination with the dead, as a result they wear skull masks and carry the teeth of their deceased whether they be enemy or family.
During a Heavytimber funeral, family members are given whatever bones the deceased promised to them in a will [the bones of the body]. The skull is the symbol of respect for the wolf who was rewarded it.
Bigger the skull usually earns more respect and bragging rights for the Heavytimber.
Cougar skulls and bear skulls are rare and uncommon for a Heavytimber wolf to have.

The Heavytimber wolves :3 I really like this Pack purely because of their rituals concerning the dead. They are a very war-oriented Pack and known as the best fighters around. These wolves are constantly at war with the Swiftwood Pack, and either or will never cease until one or the other is exterminated. I used my friend
