Loners

(Not to be mistaken with Loners, the category.)

Loners are outlaws who have betrayed their pack and must be exiled. They are located everywhere, from the canopies of Toucan Rainforest, to the peaks of Mount Vulture, to the sands of Misfortune Dunes.

Description
Loners are thought of as dirty, aggressive, and weak, and some go as far as to say they aren't even wolves. Usually, loners are exiled due to breaking the law, and they are immediately chased out of their home. Some wolves offer minimum wage jobs to loners if they are sympathetic enough, however, the majority attack or threaten them. Royal wolves are the only wolves who cannot be exiled, instead they are killed or imprisoned. King Tempest is the only known royal who was imprisoned and executed, but not exiled.

They live in places where most wouldn't want to live, such as muddy rivers, caves with sharp rocks, and the most isolated patches in Misfortune Dunes or Misfortune Clouds. Most populations are tightly packed in Toucan Rainforest or Mount Vulture, as they are the ones who's geography offers more cover. However, after border control became more enforced with the War of Defense, the amount of loners dropped by around 40%, however, more wolves getting exiled makes it seem like they dropped by 30%.

Loner packs
Loner packs are small, unofficial packs that are formed when enough loners gather and help each other, or when a loner already has formed a family. Generally, the packs usually function like how those in the real world would, with two 'royals (Alphas)', one female and one male, a second in command, and wolves who are tasked with different tasks depending on what role they are.

However, sometimes, small loner packs turn into larger ones, which grow in size until they became relatively well known. The most common of these are either ones who wish to give a safe haven for loners, or ones who wish to turn against the packs and disrupt their economy and communication.

Names
Pups born to loner parents usually follow the naming styles of their families' original packs. However, if a loner pack is formed, or a wolf doesn't want to name their offspring after their packs, there is often little thought put into names. The large majority of them are named something gloomy. (Dull, Resource)
