===Brown Wretch===

The Brown Wretch is a terrestrial repto-mammal currently found almost only in the Highlands. A relatively recent split among the wretch line Predators. To better survive in the warmer clime their fur comes in lighter, with the added effect of a fur-color shift that better matches the surroundings.

Unlike their cousins these creatures are able to rather easily go from a bipedal to a quadrupedal mode of movement as a result of an advantageous mutation in spine structure and leg musculature. This allows them to not only get at food higher up but also to escape some of their slower competitors (something which they are not adverse to). The flip-side of this is that their jaw power, bone density, and overall takedown ability has suffered.

Though still solitary predators, the brown wretches seek breeding partners more often. Though to match this their lifespan seems on average to be shorter.

Whether what is essentially a chance mutant group will have what it takes to survive in the lively world, is yet to be seen...
