Prowlers

Large carnivorous beasts walking on two legs, with large jaws full of sharp teeth and very small, clawed arms. Common prowlers are relatively small (13 feet long) and covered in brownish or yellowish down. They were apex predators of some of the Archipelago’s islands, especially in the Western parts, but humans have hunted them to near extinction. The jungleprowlers of the Northern Woodlands are far larger (25 feet long) and covered in sparse, black down between their bony scales. The snowprowlers of Groenlandia are very similar to jungleprowlers, but every winter they molt from brown to white down so that they are better camouflaged when it snows. The sandprowlers of the Southern Plains are even larger, up to 40 feet long, and covered in scales rather than downs. Prowler nestlings are called cubs.
