Baeleon
Status: semi-sentient, may be tamed by shifters, must be acquired in game
-Baeleon were originally found only on the Shifter Island. While most still live there, they have become common in the mainland as well, just like the Shifters themselves.
-Most wild mainland Baeleon stick to warmer climates. Many will live near the Boil, where they can sun themselves on cool days and retreat to cooler areas on hot ones.
-Wild Baeleon live together in largeish burrows, the quickest or strongest one (either gender) will always be dominant. There may be several 'alphas' in larger groups.
-They only trust Shifters, as they share some biological and psychological traits with them, and like their smell the best.
-All Baeleon fear fire. Never light a fire near one without giving it a chance to figure out what is going on first, and never try to make one get close to a fire.
-A frightened Baeleon will most likely bite whoever has startled it, then run. It won't stick around to fight something that scares it.
-Baeleon are omniverious. They adore insects. They will hunt small prey, scavenge from anything, and are often seen climbing trees for fruit.
-Baeleon can shift. They maintain the same reddish color and splotchy markings in each shape. While their 'true' form is pictured above, each Baeleon can also use a bird-shape and another shape which is specific to the individual. No Baeleon can shift into a 'sentient' (Fae, Shifter, Daemon, Human) species.
-Baeleon raised by Shifters can often understand language, but cannot speak it. (There are a few exceptions in ones with Parrot shapes)
-They are rather intelligent creatures, who will not listen to anybody they don't respect.
-Most Baeleon live to be around three hundred years old.
-Two to three pups are born per litter, and a female may have a new litter every twelve to fifteen years. Females can only have litters between the ages of fifty and two hundred and fifty.
