The Stroilk is a subspecies of Anooba that evolved on Kaerls independently of its closest cousins. They are fierce beasts that travel in packs. Often used as hunting partners, if tamed, but notoriously hard to do so completely. Some Okami Mandalorians have been known to become members of Stroilk packs when they survive in the wilderness.
Bjarke is wild by nature, but has had its behavior modified to accept the presence of humanoids by an intervention. It is trained against its wild instincts to accept humanoids. As creature handling goes up, a member can better empathize, train, and manage this creature's behavior. Untrained (+0), this creature will do whatever it wants and one would be helpless to understand why, with its natural disposition taking over. As creature handling skills improve, a member can understand, care for, and better influence this creature with full control achieved with mastery (+5) of creature handling.
Bjarke has typical coloring and physical appearance for a Stroilk.
Bjarke lacks an inherent drive to be the leader when around other creatures, especially when among fellow Stroilk’s. They are usually content to follow the lead of others, especially one they associate as their “Alpha”. They do not look to assert their dominance by means of aggressive action by vocalizing with their respective method of communication (howling, hissing, roaring, etc.).
Bjarke thrives on the hunt, but prefers to use stealth and careful preparation to pick and choose their battles. They see no need to rush headlong after a prey or target, but can often miss out on success if they miss their timing.
