Canine

Physical Description

Canines have the most physically varied of all centaur types. There can be drastic changes in their sizes and body builds, as well as coat types and lengths. But the most commonly seen variety of the canines are based on our world's wolf. 
Canines are considered physically smallest centaur type found from the isle. They are often similar in height as felines, but lighter than them. What they lack in physical strength they make up in endurance and stamina. 

Like feline centaurs, canines have sharp teeth and claws. They cannot retract the claws on their paws. Their fingers have typically sharp and strong nails as well.  

Behaviour

The versatile canine centaurs are often seen as the underdogs (pun intended) of the Sagittari residents. typically very open social butterflies, canines don't have strong distrust towards any other types. They have their own communities, but also make their ways to other types communities as well. You will often see canines as traveling merchants or researches, as they are driven by adventures and they are known to be intelligent creatures.  
Loyal and brave, canine centaurs make up their smaller size with their devotion. Most of them are highly motivated and vigorous, yet there are expectations. It is said, that if you make a canine centaur mad at you, you will have to work very hard to earn their forgiveness. 

Canine centaurs are typically omnivores, yet every individual has their preferences.

Canine Community
As described by the community in Midsummers Mayhem 2025 event 

A Canine family-oriented community combines beauty and curiosity in a unique way. This community emphasizes a strong sense of community, where the needs and wishes of families and individuals are taken into account. Family is often very important for Canines, and family members often prioritize family over anything else.

Canines tend to believe that beauty is present in everything around us: in nature, everyday life, and social relationships. The community promotes an appreciation of beauty by organizing various events and activities that encourage visitors and residents to explore new things. Canines care a lot about physical beauty and often take good care of their looks. If you are in need of beauty products, clothes or accessories, try to find a Canine merchant or beautician.

Curiosity is a trait that most Canines seem to strongly have. They often encourage members of their community to explore and learn new things, whether it is culture, art, or nature. Their natural curiosity is an opportunity and a threat for Canines: it can help them make discoveries and connections, or put them in danger.

The strength of a Canine community lies in its ability to support each other and create a safe environment where everyone's curiosity flourishes through beauty and learning.
