Jaliry (Species)

Jaliry (jah-li-ri) are canine-like creatures that exist in the world of Kalaine. They make up most of the population of animals besides humans, though other species are present as well. Some people usually shortcut their name to Jali.

Appearance
Jaliry come in all shapes, sizes, and traits. Some can be as small as a domestic cat, while others can be as big as large dogs. Jali possessing wings on their backs are not unusual and also come in a great variety. Their fur can be any color of the rainbow and are not limited to one color only. They are usually very colorful and might have markings like spots or stripes.

Behavior
To quote from the creator of Jaliry, Rozel:

"They are intelligent creatures which can communicate with one another with a series of almost bird-like voices. Some Jalis have their own noises, but in the end, almost all Jalis can communicate with each other. However, they can quickly learn and are good at imitating other sounds. A large array of Jalis have learned human speech and can communicate with humans or even speak with each-other through English. Some aren't so good at it, while others are perfect. It depends on your Jali's intelligence.

''In the wild, they can make different objects and craft things. Of course, some with only paws or hooves may have trouble making things, but those are generally the ones who probably would focus on hunting for food. Those with more fingered feet would probably go about crafting various items if they felt like it. Depending on the Jali, they eat anything from herbs and fruits to fish and raw meat.''

Jalis are mates for life and will generally not breed with another Jali another something happens to their mate or they break up for some reason."
