Shistavanen

Shistavanen, sometimes called Uvena and Wolf-Men by those who don’t know them, are a race of somewhat xenophobic canid humanoids from the Planet Uvena Prime. They are well known scouts and hunters, using their heightened senses to track prey. Many Shistavanen who leave their homeworld become mercenaries or bounty hunters.

Personality
Shistavanen don’t care for other species, normally. They are considered gruff and unlikeable by most. Some, especially those who leave their homeworld behind, are more outgoing; they are standoffish, but willing to spend time with members of other species. Most Shistavanen have a natural predatory instinct, and see weakness as something to be exploited.

Physical Appearance
They’re known as Wolf-Men for a reason. They evolved from canids on their homeworld, and thus have wolf-like features; a canid muzzle, ears, and fur cover their body. Their hands end in claws, though they’re not useful as weapons. They also have small tails, but usually cover them with their clothing.

Homeworld
Uvena Prime (M-18), and a number of other planets in the same system. They’ve relocated to many isolated, wilderness worlds around the Galaxy as well.

Languages
Shistavanen, a language of snarls, howls, and barks, as well as Basic.
