Canids (Canis Sapiensis) are the only surviving sepient species on Terra. They are characterized by their bipedality, high intelligence and the fur covering their bodies. Canids have large brains compared to their body size which allow them to form complex thoughts and adapt to various enviroments which they might find themselves in.

Canids are very social, often forming networks of bonds with creatures of the same species around them, including forms such as basic family units, communities, or even whole cultures and societies. They are also capable of creating complex tools and perform complex tasks. On top of that their large and sensitive ears paired with light-sensitive eyes help them with coordination in their surroundings. Canids also have a powerful biting force of around 300 PSI paired with their large, sharp teeth adapted for fighting and meat consumption.

Canids have adapted throughout centuries of their existance on Terra due to the need for adaptation to their surroundings through evolution. As of right now there are 8 subspecies, also called phenotypes, of canids identifies

Afarid (Canis Sapiensis Afaris)

Group characterized by brown fur with black markings and spots, large dark-colored snouts, medium pointy ears and no underfur. Native to the continent of Afar. Closely related to Yarid. Nowadays commonly occurs in Aroco due to colonialism and slavery.

Ethnic groups: Nebay, Haftani, West Afarian, South Afarian, North Afarian, Central Afarian

Arocid (Canis Sapiensis Arocis)

Group characterized by orange fur with black snout and tip of the tail and large pointy ears. Native to most of Aroco. Closely related to Eikaid and Aurorid. Due to its diversity Arocid is divided into five distinct phenotypes: Oceani, Continentali, Plainer, Northern and Southern. Occurance greatly reduced throughout time due to colonization and slavery.

Ethnic groups: Western Oceanic, Laker, Eastern Oceanic, Central Plainer, Northern Plainer, South Plainer, East Plainer North Plainer, Northern, North Highlander, South Highlander, Southlander, Soronid, Tenid

Aurorid (Canis Sapiensis Borealis)

Group characterized by white and grey fur with black and dark markings and thick underfur, small snouts and small pointy ears. Native to the continent of Aurora and North Aroco. Closely related to the Arocid and Eikaid. Aurorid had diversified throughout time and as of now three distinct phenotypes can be identified: Western, Eastern and Northern.

Ethnic groups: East Aurora, North Aurora, East Auoran

Eikaid (Canis Sapiensis Orientalid)

Group characterized by red and orange fur with black markings, long snouts and medium pointy ears. Native to the regions of Eastern Auora. Closely related to Aurorid.

Epeid (Canis Sapiensis Epeis)

Group characterized by brown and grey fur, large snouts and medium pointy ears. Native to the continent of Epeia with less common occurances in West Aurora. Nowadays spread all throughout the planet due to exploration and colonialism.

Ethnic groups: Mercish, Saxen, Renish, Ellan

Kaohid (Canis Sapiensis Minoris)

Group characterized by brown fur with black markings and dark tip of the tail, small snouts and small pointy ears, and no underfur. Native to the continent of Maday, Southern Aurora and West South Aroco with rare occurances in South North Aroco.

Waranid (Canis Sapiensis Iuxtis)

Group characterized by beige and yellow fur with dark markings and without underfur, short, small snouts and large pointy ears. Native to the regions of North Afar, Central Aurora and South-West Aurora with less common occurances in West Aurora.

Ethnic groups: Waraniyan, Western Waraniyan, Eastern Wraniyan

Yarid (Canis Sapiensis Yaris)

Group characterized by brown and beige fur with black and white spots, dark-colored snouts and faces, large round ears and no underfur. Native to the regions of East Afar. Closely related to Afarid.

Ethnic groups: Yari, Nebani, Ziwani
