All this talk of interspecies mixing got me wondering just how exactly our various species are related so I made up this little chart of evolutionary relations just based on proximity to each other plus similarities in pictures and descriptions.

Should I put my nation in the characters tab?

So you're telling me there can be a mix of Snow Brute and Ashen Hound? That thing would be a killing machine!

<Snipped quote by Elitestpotato>

Well, aside from one being native to the rainforest and the other to the tundra, I suppose it could work out somehow.

When it comes down to mating, however, I'm not sure that an Ashen would find the snow brutes attractive. No offense.

Here's one for the list.

The Mascuss

Their height at adulthood is about 70 feet tall. They live to be about 160 years old on average. The Mascuss appear to be fungi organisms that have the ability to use long, sticky tendrils to lure animals as a food source. How the Mascuss captures and eats its prey is still a mystery. They are nocturnal and emerge from the forests at night, waiting for something to come by and brush against its tentacles. In daylight, they slip back into the tall swampy forests and hide in the mud.

If two species could mix and produce a hybrid it would open up a issue not had between two species. If two species could produce even sterile hybrids would be chance with hybrid vigor that the hybrid is superior to parents. Could produce two different hybrids like lions and tigers can make either Liger or Tigon. So many possibilities and threats that could happen for two species. A species could die out but live on in blood of another species through hybrids.

Two species could work together to produce sterile hybrids to produce better soldiers. Could run into all sorts of issues between two species. Imagine two species both are ruled by kings and they can produce fertile hybrids, exchanging of children could result in leadership being run by hybrids. Would be so many possibilities but would be limited to select cases naturally until technology advanced highly.

Cindorayi are omnivores, missed it in my sheet but yeah.

By the way everyone, i apologise in advance if my post rate drops or my post quality declines. That flu i mentioned a week ago has turned into Pneumonia, so that could affect my posting

I can change the taxonomy later; I just wanted to use real world groups to give a feeling to the groups and their characteristics. Oddly enough the term Carnivoran doesn't necessarily imply obligate or even strict carnivores. In the real life order, there are several omnivorous carnivorans (Bears and Civets for example) and at least one herbivorous member (pandas)

<Snipped quote by Raindeer>
Well, there's a chance one could find a snow brute attractive. Love is unpredictable and all. This hybrid probably won't happen until the future anyways, when war is more common. At that point I'm sure someone will say, "Hey, we got this creature who is basically bred for war and this creature who is super athletic with natural armor and great senses. I wonder what would happen if these two made offspring..."

<Snipped quote by Elitestpotato>

Well. That also means that the hounds have to be willing to let someone else have this supposedly powerful offspring in anybody else's paws but their own. Provided they would even allow such a thing to happen in the first place.

Also, just out of curiosity. Which one do you see as "bred for war" and which is "just" considered "Super athletic with natural armor and great senses"?
