February 12th - The most defining trait of these 'mutants' is the pelage on the back; starting between the ears and waning along the tail is an area where fur growth is much longer than on the rest of the body. This yields a 'mohawk' or 'mane'. As opposed to the mane of a Maned Wolf, this follows the colour of the surrounding fur. It is also more erect and refined, but not stiff or inflexible. At full length is it about four to six inches in length.

In infants, it is not extremely noticeable and presents itself as excessive fur growth on the back, but it is not confined to the 'line' found in adults. At about four months of age the fur grows narrower in overall width. When adolescents are nearing their adult size, their age can be determined by the length of their mohawk; it is still fairly short and only really approaches its adult length when the wolf becomes a yearling.

The eye color for wolves of this mutation are typically three main colors: green, purple, and orange. Whereas yellow was the mode before, it is no longer an option. As with normal eye colors, though, the saturation can vary as well as the shade. Pups start off with blue eyes as per usual, and they achieve their adult shade the same time as regular wolves.

These particular wolves are slightly larger than average, barrel-chested and with strong limbs. This doesn't leave them at a speed disadvantage; they are virtually the same as regulary wolves (in general). They also have larger skulls. They are, in general, physically more powerful than regular wolves.

Mentally they are not necessarily more intelligent per se, but are more interested in civilisation and organisation. Personalities as normal run the gamut but there is a much smaller incidence of 'no brain all brawn wolves' and they tend to try to fuel hatred and dislike with actual reasoning and fact.

June 29 - To the naked eye, these mutants are not particularly different from a regular, unmutated wolf. Perhaps a little strange-looking, but not too much so. But there are things that may not be immediately evident that cause these mutants to be notably different from normal.

A pair of large ears are possessed, larger than average although not incredibly so. They are noticeable but can be passed off as almost normal. However, in function these ears do differ. They are more sensitive to sound, and wolves can develop a very jumpy temperament as a result. However, they do have their advantages, as they rarely cause the wolf to be unaware of the presence of another. While these ears are more acute than average wolf ears, they do not enable incredibly adept hearing, but nevertheless do present an advantage.

The biggest defining trait of this mutation may not even be present on first meeting, but will become evident if the mutant feel strong emotions. Markings that differ from wolf to wolf usually betray that they are feeling strong emotion. For example, a wolf whose marking glows orange is feeling angry, whereas one who is sad may glow red. Normally these markings are rather small and on the face, but it does depend on the wolf.

In terms of eye colors, there are three again: orange, blue, and red. As with the previous mutation the shade and saturation varies.

Size-wise, wolves with this mutation are generally smaller and more delicate, a few inches below average with thinner bodies. This, coupled with the larger ears, tends to give the impression of youth, and weakness. Facial features are generally more feminine, even in the case of males, but there is a discrepancy between males and females as per usual.

Generally, wolves with this mutation tend to think things over before going ahead and are fairly analytical, but can give into their 'hearts', so to speak. Rarely are they unintelligent, but their intellect isn't necessarily much vaster than regular wolves.
