NPC Animals

Here is the listing of any and all animal characters and companions found around Ichika no Ho-en. Those in this list are generally owned by a played (non-NPC) canine of the pack, or have otherwise decided to remain around the packlands. Note that you must ask permission of a NPC's owner prior to having them appear in a thread. All animals, unless otherwise specified, are housed in the Broken Arrow Ranch.

Male/Female: | 0/1


Poppy

Age: 3 years

Poppy is a free-roaming filly sometimes seen in the Dahlia Valley or by the Colchester Quarter. A three-year-old strawberry roan filly that Pia took off the hands of a younger luperci who did not know how to handle the creature. Poppy is spirited and still young, but her energy works well with her owner's. She is as cheeky as Pia and often requires a dominant mare to put her in her place. She is friendly and trusting with strange luperci, but she's terrified of storms and shy around stallions.

Personal Animal NPC's


Nameless (Ralius)

Age: Unknown

Nameless is a large Eurasian Owl with a wing span of 62in and a body maxing at 28in long. His body resembles that of the common species with a speckled belly of beige and umber and a darker covering of red-orange and umber. His eyes are a bright orange with flecks of brown within, but otherwise ordinary. Temperamentally he is fairly docile, more annoying that aggressive. When not found around X'yrin's proximity he is usually hovering around the pack keeping an eye out for anything that occurs below. He will occasionally come down to annoy an idle wolf, but is relatively harmless. He responds to both Low and snippets High speech.

Pack Livestock



Sheep

Ichika no Ho-en is home for five ewes and one ram, total. The sheep are unnamed and most likely impossible to differentiate, except by the Ma-tzu, who cares for them along with the rest of the stable. The sheep are easily spooked, unlike most of the other stable animals, but are easy to round up as per the methods of the age-old border collie or sheepdog.





Goats

A large corner of the stables belongs to the four goats, each of a different color. Two males and two females, the goats are kept separate unless under supervision of the Ma-tzu during the day, and who is also responsible for milking the females. The females tend to be aloof and indifferent towards pack members; the males, however, are headstrong, stubborn and easily-challenged, apt to chasing around misguided pups who bothered them too long.




Chickens

The henhouse in the wire-fenced pen outside the barn keeps the twelve chickens, rooster and their numerous chicks safe from feral foxes, coons and other hungry intruders. The chickens act like chickens, the cock acts cocky, and the chicks are chicks. They might try to escape and scatter if the pen is not opened carefully. Cared for by the Ma-tzu.


Cows

The cows: one female, one male. Unsurprisingly, the bull is very easily aggravated, and should be approached with extreme caution.

Pack Llamas

There are three adult females, two adult male llamas, and one cria left to Ichika by Tawny Wagner. Two of the female llamas are pregnant and one has recently given birth to a cria. Although rather friendly animals keep an eye out, these llamas like to spit at unsuspecting bystanders. Hover over them for their names.


While Alpacas are not typically hierarchical, Merlin has assumed the role of the most dominant male. Protective of his herd, the male can come off as abrasive and confrontational when approached by someone he does not know. Content mostly to graze and watch his herd in peace, Merlin isn't one who should really be provoked.

Rory falls into the role of the submissive male and he fits it well. An amiable, usually cheerful male, he can become rather shy and subservient. He can be quite affectionate, although he is naturally nervous around strangers. He has a close bond with Pippa and the two are often found together grazing. [Currently a Salsolan captive!]

Regarded as the most dominant female, Emlyn is similar in demeanour to Merlin. A little less abrasive, she is still very protective over the herd and her cria, Elin. Emlyn comes across as the most distrusting of the five alpaca and she doesn't like any interaction with others. She has a close bond with Merlin and Calico.

Pippa is the most confident and friendly of the five alpaca's and is often found at the fence, vying for attention from others. Kind and affectionate, Pippa acts as a bridge between the abrasive Merlin and Emlyn and those who wish to look after them. Her close bond with Rory is sweet and the two are often found playing together. [Currently a Salsolan captive!]

Mostly described as Emlyn's protégée, Calico appears to be following in the dominant female's steps. She can be unfriendly and generally moody with those around her, although she has moments of affection shown mainly towards Elin and Pippa. Calico isn't particularly fond of either of the males and acts with aggression most of the time. [Currently a Salsolan captive!]

A sweet natured cria, Elin doesn't appear to be as bad tempered as her parents. Born in Ichika, along with Pippa she is the closest to her canine keepers and is the most comfortable with being petted and groomed. Still young, she is still developing her personality.
