Homebrew Coyote Species Details
This loping canine is surrounded by many of its kin. They circle, looking for an opportunity for food.
Gregarious creatures, coyotes are nearly always found with their family unit. They are hardy scavengers that can survive in most areas and climates. They rarely pose a threat to larger game but if hungry, a band of coyotes will work together to attack opportune prey. Their presence is readily noticeable by their telltale howl that alerts their family and nearby bands of their presence or the availability of food.
