Description
After countless centuries of scavenging in the wilderness and raiding minor settlements, the Kanid people have finally advanced their 'civilization' to a higher level of organization. The innumerable clans and packs have banded together, preparing themselves for the first war in their race's history. The desert wastelands shake beneath the charging paws of the Kanid Hordes, and the world descends into terror as the Age of Destruction begins.

Mauler: The Latran/Jackal caste make up the standard infantry ranks in the Hordes. They have a terrifyingly efficient healing factor, allowing them to shrug of most injuries with ease. Occasionally, Maulers attack from a distance by throwing rocks and shrapnel at their foes. Kanids can throw with great power, and in large groups their hurled attacks can be quite destructive. More often, they wield crude melee weapons (usually a pair of jagged metal bludgeons), and attack with an unintelligent 'tactic' of charging straight into the enemy's line of fire until they reach melee range. Many have laughed at this ridiculously brazen strategy, only to stare in horror as waves of Maulers surge past their machine guns and hack their front-line troops into pieces.

Scalper: Vulpine warriors who command packs of kanids (a 'pack' usually equals 1 Vulpine and 8 Jackals) or act as independent scouts/infiltrators are commonly known as 'scalpers' to their enemies. This is largely due to their keen predatory intelligence and significant skill with sharpened blades. Their dexterity and eyesight is superior to the Jackals', and they can fight at range with throwing knives, axes, and spears with surprising accuracy. While the Maulers are charging the front with unrestrained savagery, the Scalpers creep along the surrounding cliffs and walls, hurling their spears or leaping onto unsuspecting soldiers and slicing them apart with their knives. Scalpers are fiercely competitive and adorn themselves with the bones, pelts, and scalps of their slain enemies.

Blazer While brazenly reckless in nearly all their actions, the kanids do have two primal fears: technology and fire. A significant proportion of the Vulpine Caste, however, are apparently immune to these and all other fears - due to a twisted blend of maniacal insanity that pervades their behavior. They are known as blazers, and their near-suicidal aggression makes them an especially feared kanid strain. Their appearance is bold and shocking: their crest is cropped into a narrow topknot, and their face and arms are striped with orange clay and black ash-paste. They can fight well with bladed tools and weapons salvaged from raided settlements, but their most powerful and frightening trademarks are the stolen cans of fuel they carry on their backs. The flaming spouts of these containers are used to ignite crudely-fashioned petrol-bombs which can be hurled great distances. The blazers show no fear of death, and will charge directly into melee combat in full fire-gear. All it takes is one terrified defender to strike a blow to the crazed kanid, and the ensuing fireball will destroy anyone and anything nearby.

More savage warrior beasts! By the way, I changed the Felinian Warrior names so they aren't in conflict [link] Bruiser and Prowler fit the Felinians better anyway, and the Kanids were born to be Maulers and Hunters.
