... That is the question.
Yes. Many of you might be wondering: does Marsia have packs? Will my characters be allowed to claim lands? Even my big cats?
The answer, I suppose, would be yes. Your wolves will be able to form packs, claim land, attack each other, etc. I mean, that's where the fun is!
But!
There are certain collective nouns, for different species, that can be used to denote a social group of animals. Collectively, all packs, prides and clans would be termed "social groups" or "societies". In Marsia, there would be a certain amount of difficulty involved in titling the leaders of each society, seeing as there is a wide variety of species available for play. I will be making an attempt to list all societal animals, as well as the term for their respective societies.
Note: This thread is on VERY shaky ground. I have not run this through anyone at all; Cookie might not even like the idea of societies -- each predator for itself, eh? So, don't take this seriously yet -- at least, not until this note is removed.
Societal Animals:
Wolves -- Packs - pure black wolves, white wolves other than arctic wolves must be bought. All albinos must be bought no matter what creature.
Coyotes -- Packs
African Hunting Dogs -- Packs
Wild Dogs -- Packs
Hyenas -- Clans
Lions -- Prides - white lions must be bought, they aren't natural in the wild.
Male Cheetahs -- Coalitions
Monogamous Animals:
Foxes
Jackals
Solitary Animals [Including possible mother-cub groups]:
Tigers - white /albino tigers must be bought, they aren't natural in the wild.
Leopards - Albino leopards must be bought.
Cougars
Jaguars
Clouded Leopards
