Wicken

Summary
The Wicken are a race of anthropomorphic wolves, dogs, foxes and jackals. They have a powerful presence and are considered the political Goliaths of Tao Centarum. The Wicken are the sole founders of the Federation of Aris, and usually overshadows the High-Born Humans in pride and power, who are considered the third most powerful species on the planet.

Biology
The Wicken are nothing different from humans, and do not require much elaboration. What should be pointed out is that the Wicken have more keen senses than the humans, and are more cunning. The Wicken, being very animal like in their features, are also characteristically similar to the canine we've come to know. Across the four variants of Wicken, the wolves are (typically) considered the bastards/bitches (no pun intended) of the four. They are (again, typicalIy) mean, ruthless and sharp in their wits, which makes them great politicians. They are also very tolerable to pain. The foxes and jackals are commonly known as the humble folk, and are fast on their feet when it comes to thinking. Dog Wicken are considered the lesser form of Wicken, as they are the farthest thing from their pureblooded, ruthless, and their cold-hearted brethren and sisters. While the wolf and dog Wicken can interbreed with each other, the others can interbreed as well, but their off-spring will be either/and disabled and sterile. The reproductive organs of a Wicken is similar to those of a canine's, and can have a birth rate of six off-spring on average per- pregnancy. Wicken also have eight nipples which are harder to see under normal circumstances, while females have one set of breasts. Women in heat, pregnant, or have previously been pregnant will have expressed nipples, and must wear brassier and a cloth tied around their abdomen for decency.

Author Notes
The Wicken were the second species written into the story. Before, they were oppressed by the humans, but I wanted a little twist in the narrative, and made it the other way around.
