I decided this would probably work better as a simple reply-only survey (allows for edits) rather than a poll like last time I did this. Polls are messy. 8| Please reply in the following format and do not adorn your post with lots of extra info (I'll have to wade through it later). Any character within the game is okay -- NPCs and such are fine. Do not add any characters currently outside of 'Souls playable area, however.
STANDARDS
Our Species Guide provides the standards by which to take this survey. Our species guide is not 1000% accurate, but even legitimate scientists don't precisely agree on what constitutes a species and what constitutes a subspecies. So -- even if you agree with scientists who, for example, classify the Eastern Timberwolf as its own species separate from Gray Wolves, for the purposes of this survey, they're classed as gray wolves.
SPECIES not SUBSPECIES
Remember -- SPECIES, not SUBSPECIES. If your character is a Tundra Wolf, that's their subspecies -- their species is Gray Wolf. If your character is a Northeastern Coyote, that's their subspecies -- their species is Coyote. The outliers are covered below.
WOLVES that aren't WOLVES
The following species, though referred to as "wolves" are NOT "Gray Wolves." They have been classified into their own species, as per the Species Guide: Ethiopian Wolf (C. s. simensis), Indian Wolf (C. indica), Himalayan Wolf (C. himalayensis), Red Wolf (C. r. rufus).
