Characters with their personality and skills and backstory

Aspen, also known by his nickname Little Bad Wolf, is a mexican wolf who terrorizes the lands he treads on. He not only has a huge appetite, but looks to cause suffering in general to the animals unfortunate enough to be in his vicinity. Aspen has a history with Sheila, once being an adopted member of her pack. Omega Wolf Aspen entered Sheila's pack under her recommendation. Much younger at the time, Aspen was sentenced as the omega of the pack along side another female omega named Scia. He was nicknamed Little Bad Wolf jokingly from betas in the pack, and LBW was often the target of harassment, as is normal for an omega. He found comfort in both Sheila and Scia, the former mentoring him and the other growing fond of him on a personal level. He and Scia fell in love over time, but after a hunt gone wrong, Scia succumbed to grievous wounds. Aspen's Fall Aspen, consumed with grief and eventually rage, could not be held back even from the efforts of Sheila. Knowing who was responsible for Scia's death, he attack a nearby group of wildcats, killing every last one mercilessly. This led to consequences for the pack, which the alpha male reminded Aspen of quite brutally. The pack had to move. One night, Aspen overhead a couple of the betas talking about how they had set up Scia to be attacked by the wildcats. Knowing he would probably be killed as a result of it, Aspen opted to leave the pack instead of attacking the wolves, even if he was incredibly furious; however, as he tried to leave, he was confronted by the very wolf that had talked about Scia's fate. LBW killed him and left his body for the others to find. Pursued The alpha male of the pack led an effort to track down LBW and kill him for his actions. As they were closing in on him, Sheila found where he was hiding, though LBW did not attack her. Sheila helped Aspen escape one last time and did not see him again for years. In those years, Aspen became a notorious and feared predator in the wild, known for his ruthless and cruel ways of catching his prey. There was also his gluttony that caused him to stand out. Reuniting with Sheila By this time, Sheila had caught wind of LBW's notoriety. One night, Aspen found the lone wolfess watching over him on a cliff. Using his wits, Aspen speedily ambushed her and a vixen that had accompanied her. He wound up swallowing the vixen whole, not knowing she was a friend of Sheila's. He also had no idea it was Sheila until it was too late. LBW attacked her, realizing she was, in fact, his old mentor. Sheila managed to knock LBW down, attempting to free the fox from his guts, but to no avail. She instead ate him, threatening his life in an effort to cause him to release the fox. He still refused, but soon felt very sick, releasing the vixen. Upon doing this, Sheila released him as well. Sheila let Aspen go once more, but not before informing him she had left the pack because she yearned freedom. She also revealed she had watched over Aspen many times now, feeling she was obligated to. Barely Survival LBW was carrying out business one day like usual: eating entire rabbit families and basking in the sun while digesting them. Unfortunately for him, at that moment, Atlas had finally caught up to him. The bear hardly hesitated before shoving the wolf into his gullet, swallowing him down easily. Aspen had never been eaten by anyone other than Sheila, and knew who Atlas was. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the bear’s gut. Soon, Michelle would join him. LBW knew who she was as well, and thought twice about eating her, though it seemed his fate was sealed at that point. He was shocked to see Sheila entering soon after. Aspen knew that he had a very slim chance of escaping now, though he did not give up. Despite the pooling and bubbling of Atlas’ stomach acids, he struggled as hard as he could, even if Sheila and MIchelle gave up. Suddenly, a strange and dizzying force caused the bear to end up regurgitating them all. Coated in his thick fluids, Aspen and the others escaped, Michelle picking up an unconscious Davy nearby. Later that night, Aspen and the others huddled up in a cave near a lake to ponder over what had transpired. Sheila wondered how they escaped their acidic fates and Davy revealed that he manipulated a machine to get Atlas to vomit them all up. Only knowing that he saved them all, Sheila gave Davy a kiss in thanks, welcoming him to their small pack. The Hunter-Killers LBW dreams of Scia for the first time in many seasons. He wakes up in a fright, shedding a tear and leaving the cave in embarrassment as everyone else continues to sleep. He goes outside, cursing his predicament, and goes back to rest next to a bush. Grendel comes out of the nearby forest to swallow him whole, softly enough to not wake the wolf immediately. He awakens when Grendel swallows his next victim, Sheila. The two wolves bicker and argue as they are taken to be regurgitated into a deep dirt pit in sunrise. They are approached by Leopold, the leader of the Hunter-Killers, a notorious group of predators created specifically to put prey creatures in their place (with the rise of the Matchmakers). The well-spoken lion seems to recognize both Aspen and Sheila, but Aspen realizes he wishes to recruit them, having his sights set towards taking down the all-eating bear Atlas. He rejects Leopold, saying that he is a free wolf and makes it clear he detests animals that band together the way they do. He asks him to reconsider and think about it, as he won't truly be free until Atlas is exterminated. The Misfits Strike Back Hours after Leopold leaves them, Davy comes up with a plan for the pack to escape the pit. Getting eaten by Michelle intentionally, he cries out in horror to attract the attention of Grendel, who lounges nearby. Grendel comes down to confront Michelle, and Sheila takes the opportunity to lunge and pin his head under her belly, creating tension in the snake's ropey body so that Aspen and Michelle can climb out. Outside of the pit, the trio get in position to grasp onto the snake's body so that Sheila can climb out next. She fails to do so and her weight causes her to fall back down onto Grendel's head, knocking out the serpent. Sheila instructs them to run, nudging LBW to lead them to safety. LBW leads the pack and they rush towards the direction of a mountainous region. Aspen tells Michelle and Davy to move on without him, encouraging them to split up since he smells something hunting them. He turns back to where the pit lies... Personality Aspen used to be quite timid and submissive, being an omega wolf. Ever since he left the pack, he has been consumed by anger and hatred, taking it out on the creatures of the wilderness. His harsh and brutal actions gave him notoriety very quickly. Despite this, Aspen kept his given nickname, Little Bad Wolf, as a piece of irony that he found greatly amusing. LBW revels in terrorizing other animals, especially those that he plans on eating eventually. This type of hunting gives him a rush that he can't get enough of. Regarding all this, Sheila herself still feels that the old Aspen still dwells inside of him, and she hopes to unearth that kinder side by mothering him. Forte/Skills Aspen has a scarily good knack for psychological hunts, getting into his prey's head and causing them to walk straight into his waiting maw. He also enjoys the traditional hunt, sometimes letting his prey go if they weren't challenging enough for him, and then chasing them down again or the following day. The mexican wolf has a stomach of steel, able to keep most of his prey down, with exception of poisonous creatures, of course. Adding to that, Aspen has a very healthy metabolism. Combined with that and his tendency to exercise his body quite a bit, Aspen has grown to be quite a strong and well-built wolf, his powerful muscles shaping out over his fur coat. This has also led to him having great stamina and endurance too.

Atlas is a hulking, intimidating figure that strikes fear into the hearts of many in the wild. He has been known to be friendly to most, but stories were told of how he completely turned against those he was once friendly with out of nowhere. When he isn't interacting with other animals, he is hanging out on his own, enjoying the more peaceful and quiet places in the wild and relaxing.

The Hunt for Wolves Atlas has a list in his head for what animals are causing imbalance in the Megawild and goes after them to exterminate them. The latest on his list is LBW, and he devours him shortly after the wolf had eaten an entire rabbit family. While he walks off to find a place to digest LBW, Sheila confronts him. The bear and the she-wolf do battle in a clearing, but in the middle of it, Michelle comes in and tries to distract him. She reveals a microchip planted in the back of Atlas’ head. Atlas throws his head back, then forward to launch Michelle into the air, then subsequently swallowing her. Sheila rushes him in a rage, but Atlas sees this coming, pinning her and then eating her. As he settles to digest the three animals, he is agitated by Davy, who provokes him further by pulling on his ears. Atlas gives chase to Davy, who stops to face him. Davy accidentally activates a human machine, which uses a pulse to deter animals from approaching. This pulse detects Davy and it does not affect Atlas, though it leaves Davy dazed. Atlas tries to swallow Davy, but the cat holds on tight to the bear’s tongue with his claws. The machine detects Atlas and changes its pulse to the maximum level thanks to all the animals contributing to his mass. Atlas is hit hard by the pulse, and he regurgitates them all. He collapses in a horrible daze as the animals escape. Present Day Atlas continues his hunt for the animals on his list, but has set Sheila, Davy, Michelle, and LBW to the highest priority, who may be the only creatures in the Megawild who have ever escaped from him. Other animals on his list include Fiona, Leopold, and the Stoats. Personality Atlas is quiet and reserved, much like Sheila. He is friendly to most other animals, no matter what their affiliation and sizes are. When he talks, his voice alone can shake one's core, but it also carries a strange gentleness to it. Atlas does not go out of his way to preach or tell others how to live their lives; he would simply hunt anyone down that disturbs what he believes to be the proper order of the ecosystem. The bear is easy-going and loves to relax, but also enjoys training. He carries a large tire tied to his back to give other animals lifts or to ferry around items he deems valuable. Forte/Skills Atlas has a massive appetite and eats a lot seemingly at random. His stomach and its acids are quite powerful as well, allowing him to digest most anything. Unlike bears normally do, Atlas does not hibernate, his fat content and dense coat enough to help him through the cold season. His thick fur also defends him against attacks from other animals. He is as strong as he looks, and he keeps getting stronger. Atlas engages in weight training with the help of his tire. He has been seen lifting downed trees and large logs too. Other animals speak of the marvel that is his strength and sometimes volunteer to be lifted up by him, usually with them sitting on his tire or a log.

Constance, or Connie, is considered the right paw of Leopold. She is a dog with an amazing skill in tracking and acts as an ambassador of sorts for the Hunter-Killers, enthusiastically embracing the leading lion's ideals. When she is not doing Leopold's bidding, she loyally tails him wherever he goes. Though she could never amount to what Grendel is capable of as far as devouring others, she still has a notable capacity, and seeks to be useful to Leopold in other ways.

The Hunter-Killers Constance is tasked with locating an unorthodox pack of misfits led by a particularly fat she-wolf. She is able to locate them simply through their variety of smells, and sends Grendel on his way to capture them and bring them back to the Hunter-Killers' headquarters. Personality The Saluki makes an effort to look elegant and graceful in everything she does. Wanting to appear impressionable to her master, she carries out his tasks with great fervor and quickness. She can get easily jealous of her peers when they receive commendations from Leopold, and schemes ways that she can outdo them or even take them out of the picture if they gain too much attention from him. To maintain her image, Connie is polite and well-spoken even to her prey, quite skilled in hiding her true emotions. In this effort, she almost resembles Leopold, and she wouldn't have it any other way. Forte/Skills Constance serves the Hunter-Killers as an incredibly skilled scout. Her eyesight, sense of smell, and hearing are second to none, and not a single creature has eluded or escaped her. Her integration to the Hunter-Killers' eating habits was somewhat slow, but her lithe figure and particularly strong stomach juices helped her ascend to a more acceptable capacity when compared to most of her peers. Being a Saluki, Connie is equipped with a set of long, powerful legs that allow her to sprint at breakneck speed, giving her a means to capture even the fastest prey. She can leap long distances and great heights, and even with a bloated belly, she can still maneuver across the wilderness with relative ease.

Davy is a pompous and self-reliant cat who refuses to be humbled by the wilderness. Davy traverses a foreign land, recalling his foggy past as a rich man's feline companion. He searches for his friends Leo and Clara, and the circumstances that brought him to the Megawild he walks across, a place where all animals are of curiously high intelligence.

Davy's Entry into the Wild Davy's past is not very well known. The cat, before he arrived in this new strange land, was previously the pet of a wealthy man. When he was not hanging around in his mansion, Davy would go outside and meet with two friends of his, Leo and Clara, two other cats.

He does not know exactly when it happened, but he suddenly found himself in a new foreign land, and his friends had come with him. He wondered at first if he was drugged and dragged in by his friends deep into the wild. His relationship with them was a bit rocky at that point, but he was eventually put at ease, integrating himself into his new life, though deeply homesick.

Making Enemies One day, Davy was hanging out with his friends as usual when he spotted a lone honey buzzard, Lyla, nearby. He dared Leo to go and hug the buzzard, which he did despite Clara's protests. What resulted soon after was all three of them being swallowed whole by the voracious bird.

The buzzard ordered the three cats to massage her from inside, though Davy was the only one who did not participate, seeing it as a trick to speed up the digestion. Eventually, Leo and Clara were regurgitated by the bird and escaped, but Davy remained in Lyla's stomach.

Lyla was close to digesting the cat, but she released him when he begged and promised he would fetch her easy meals until he could no longer walk.

Davy would spend about a month fetching Lyla prey until one night, he would find that a vole that he had fed her was still alive and calling out for help. Davy would reach in and grab the vole from Lyla's guts, though he managed to wake her up and nearly lost his leg to her sharp beak. Davy pulled out the vole without Lyla noticing, but the bird tied him up to the tree branch. When she went back to sleep, the vole promised Davy he would return with an army.

After another day of feeding the buzzard, Lyla was subsequently attacked by the army of voles, though it was a short lived battle, as the bird devoured every last one. Guessing that Davy had conducted the attack, Lyla went in after him, but was staggered when the voles coordinated an attack from within her gizzard. Lyla fell hard into the ground so that her talons sunk into the earth. Davy took this opportunity to escape once and for all, and the buzzard soon grew sick enough to vomit out all the voles.

Run-In with Atlas While he was making enemies, Davy would eventually make new friends. One was in the form of a happy-go-lucky vixen named Michelle. The two became amicable very quickly and Davy even thinks he may have fallen in love.

As the two played a game of Fox and Cat one evening, where Davy became prey and was swallowed by Michelle, the fox carried the feline into the forest to a more private place, but she came upon a strange human machine that dazed her to the point where she vomited up Davy.

Weeks later, the two were on their way back to meet with Sheila, Davy offering to take Michelle to the city one day. They found that Sheila was in the middle of a fight with the bear Atlas. Davy watched in cover as Michelle rushed the bear but was promptly eaten, followed by Sheila. Thinking back to the incident where Michelle ran into the machine, Davy thought to use it to force Atlas to spit up the wolf and fox.

Davy led Atlas to the same machine, though he clumsily set it off, the pulse being adjusted for a small creature like him so that it did not affect Atlas. The bear subsequently stuffed Davy into his gullet, the cat hanging onto his tongue for dear life. The machine adjusted its pulse once more, this time to an extreme level to compensate for the weight of Atlas and the large amount of mass in his stomach. This caused the bear to vomit everyone up.

Later that night, Little Bad Wolf (who was in Atlas before Michelle and Sheila), Davy, Michelle, and Sheila huddled up in cover inside of a cave next to a lake. As they pondered on how they survived an encounter that should’ve ended their lives, Davy tried to explain how he used the machine to save them. This causes Sheila to warm up a great amount to the cat and even give him a kiss in thanks. With that, Davy was officially part of their little pack.

Davy has to stick with Sheila’s pack for now so that they can stand a chance against any future encounters with Atlas, though Davy is also willing to stick around because of his love for Michelle.

The Hunter-Killers The night following their brush with Atlas, Davy and his new pack try to sleep. The cat wakes up with an unpleasant surprise. His whole team has been swallowed by a couple of reptiles, and his body is stuck to the ground by a pool of sticky substance! He is told by one of the reptiles, a monitor lizard named Percy, that he is wanted by his leader, Leopold. He swallows him, and Davy discovers Michelle already inside the lizard's gut. Davy cuddles close to Michelle for comfort, bathing in Percy's juices as he is transported to an estuary.

He is released along with Michelle into a dirt pit, falling right on top of Sheila and Aspen! They are then approached by a lion, who is in fact Leopold! The lion expresses great joy upon seeing Davy, asking if the "little lion" was the one responsible for warding off the bear. Davy confirms this, feeling somewhat frightened and humbled that he is being complimented by such a large imposing feline. LBW snaps at the lion, however, knowing that he wishes to recruit them in their mutual fight against Atlas. Leopold asks him and the others to think about his offer as he leaves them be.

The Misfits Strike Back Hours after Leopold leaves them, Davy comes up with a plan for the pack to escape the pit. Getting eaten by Michelle intentionally, he cries out in horror to attract the attention of Grendel, who lounges nearby. Grendel comes down to confront Michelle, and Sheila takes the opportunity to lunge and pin his head under her belly, creating tension in the snake's ropey body so that Aspen and Michelle can climb out. Outside of the pit, the trio get in position to grasp onto the snake's body so that Sheila can climb out next. She fails to do so and her weight causes her to fall back down onto Grendel's head, knocking out the serpent.

Sheila instructs them to run, nudging LBW to lead them to safety. LBW leads the pack and they rush towards the direction of a mountainous region. Aspen tells Michelle and Davy to move on without him, encouraging them to split up since he smells something hunting them. Michelle continues to run with Davy, Constance watching them as they go.

Personality Davy is a headstrong and rather stuck-up feline, undoubtedly taken up from his upbringing. Having looked up to his master, Davy developed a strong sense of self-worth and confidence in his skills and knowledge, believing himself to be superior to most other animals. After his encounter with Lyla, he felt he was stronger than before, and his bravery was bolstered greatly.

Even if the tabby cat enjoys devouring others whole, he does feel rather guilty and disturbed by his liking of this, thinking back to when he himself could have been easily digested. It's quickly brushed off by his understanding of the laws of nature, and his tendency to make excuses for almost everything he does. When there is a window to do good, Davy sometimes takes it, not entirely bereft of consideration for others.

Forte/Skills As any cat would be, Davy is great at jumping and scaling tall structures, whether they be small cliffs or sprawling trees. His mobility is fantastic even if he is overweight from his recent eating habits. He tries to exercise and move around more, as his first time eating another whole had caused him to be lazy for a time.

Davy, previously being a human's companion, has observed tools that were used by them, and has a much wider knowledge of them than the average animal would. With this higher intellect, Davy tries to apply usage of tools that he finds in the Megawild in as many situations as he can so that he has the upper paw.

Fiona is the leader of a small group of prey animals looking to unveil the hidden predator potential in them all--this group is called the Matchmakers. The deer aims to shake the culture of the wilderness by giving prey creatures the confidence to adopt a new mindset—one where all creatures have the same capabilities in survival and don't have to feel hampered by the concept of a food chain.

Present Day Fiona serves as a leader to her group and students. She dwells at a small pond while her allies scan the surroundings for any disgruntled predators, or worse, Atlas the bear. Personality The fallow deer is soft-spoken and kind. She pushes for neutrality, but knows that it might not be possible to placate the more hardened and established predators in the Megawild. Regardless, she is willing to converse with anyone and holds no ill will towards anybody, as her beliefs are heavily grounded in equality in all species. Fiona is usually safe when it comes to digestion. Even if it's an enemy, she typically lets them go to tell others of their experience in being swallowed by a deer. If they return for revenge, she eats them again and digests them. She is not adverse to becoming someone's meal, of course, as she is content with her ideals having spread across the lands in such a prominent fashion. She is also content with the idea of martyrdom. Forte/Skills One of Fiona's most notable skills is one that is engineered in her DNA: her multi-chambered deer stomach. Her stomach being of large size in the first place, she is able to hold much inside of it, and transfer her prey across her chambers at will. Her stomach is a hard-working organ, breaking down almost anything, and makers her an inspiration to all species to exercise their own stomachs and create a new name for themselves on the ladder, no matter what species. Her stomach chambers retains somewhat similar anatomy to that of a normal deer's. It starts with the Rumen, which serves as safe storage (she loves to keep animals there to converse with them). Next is the Reticulum, where a liquid with microorganisms latch onto her food and make it easier to digest. Third is the Omasum, where water is absorbed; this is where her prey is lulled into a final slumber. And last is the Abomasum, where her food is fully digested in gastric juices! She doesn't regurgitate and chew cud like deer normally would. Fiona has a way with words, and her soft-spoken and beautiful voice is enough to pacify almost anybody. She would rather converse than use brute force for others to see her ways, but if she has to get rowdy, her kicks have a ton of power behind them. Lastly, Fiona's esophagus and throat are powerful, capable of holding and swallowing mass that equates to her own body volume.

Grendel, The most gluttonous serpent in the Megawild, is one of the aides of the leader of the Hunter-Killers, Leopold. Reptiles in the Megawild have their own rituals and practices, but one that resonates with them all is the title of Grendel itself, which is given to the most voracious of reptiles. A snake as big as Grendel doesn't seem to have a hard time achieving this feat. Some reptiles might try to overthrow the holder of the title by working towards ensuring their death! The current Grendel, this anaconda, has held the title for many seasons, and the most thus far, hardly anyone being able to outdo his massive digestive tract let alone kill him. He works for Leopold happily, his jobs usually involving the consumption of large creatures, and he sees the accomplishment of his missions to be plenty rewarding.

The Hunter-Killers Grendel is tasked by Leopold to bring in Sheila and her pack after they have been located by their scouter Constance. In the dead of night, the anaconda moves to their location to first swallow down Aspen. He slithers into the nearby cave to gulp down Sheila next, reveling in the two wolves filling his stomach, and notices too late that Percy had followed him, the monitor lizard swallowing Michelle whole. The lizard says he cannot trust the snake to digest them on the spot, knowing how he behaved in the past. He and the anaconda head to the estuary and regurgitate them in a dirt pit so they can be approached by Leopold without any incident. The snake observes from a distance, basking in the sun as the lion conversates with them. The Misfits Strike Back Leopold tasks Grendel with watching over the pack while he tends to other matters. Grendel continues to lounge until a scream rings from within the pit. He goes to see Michelle swallowing Davy up! He slithers into the pit to confront her while keeping his tail around a post. Suddenly from behind, Sheila body slams him, pinning his head underneath her big gut! He wakes up in a daze, only to see the wolf climbing up his body and then falling onto his head once more, knocking him out completely. He would then be swallowed by Sheila, coiling up in her churning stomach still unconscious. Personality Grendel, while being one of the most gluttonous predators in the Megawild, doesn't exactly get by with brain power. The fear that he strikes into many animals is what gives him an advantage, and his massive frame allows him to brute force his way through most problems. He is very carefree and does not pay much attention to what goes on around him. He loves food and does not think about much else, admiring his own plush coils and adding to them. In addition to that, he loves shiny things, much like his superior. As a predator, he is merciless, never giving in to emotions. In the moment he has his prey, nothing matters more to him than sending them down his long, slick gullet. Forte/Skills It's no surprise that Grendel's appetite is huge to accommodate such a massive body. Though it seems like his size might make him sluggish, he slithers at a shockingly high speed and strikes with deadly precision! While he, as a snake, has no external ears, Grendel's jaw can pick up vibrations and thus sound, and this bone conductive type of hearing allows him to pick up noise from the earth itself, which allows him to hide and pick up the direction of his prey with ease. Grendel has the natural ability to sense heat through his pit organs, allowing him to detect warm bodies from many feet away. This is especially helpful in darker hours when he hunts for his next prey. His body is strong, and his scales really tough but smooth. If he manages to wrap his coils around an animal, they very likely won't escape his jaws. His powerful muscles can easily squeeze the life out of anyone he catches. Finally, if his prey is fully aware, Grendel can hypnotize them with his shining, golden eyes, though this works better in a dark environment.

Leopold is the self-appointed leader of the Hunter-Killers, a notorious group of predators created specifically to put prey creatures in their place. The group was formed as the Matchmakers had made their presence known, and the two factions are mortal enemies. Atlas has thrown a wrench in the conflict, however, and while this does not mean the clans are yet holding a temporary alliance, the fighting has been put to a halt to confront this ursine terror.

The Hunter-Killers Leopold has known about the most infamous predators prowling the Megawild, including Sheila and Little Bad Wolf. Gathering his small council together consisting of Constance and Grendel, he sent them out to hunt for them, suspecting that they had recently come out of an encounter with Atlas alive and wishing to know their secrets. They were successfully captured and brought back, with Michelle and Davy in tow. Imprisoned in a deep pit, Leopold goes to meet them as the morning sun rises. He expresses great joy in Davy having a big part in outsmarting Atlas, convinced that this is a fine example of the intellect of felines. He is heckled by an opossum that was imprisoned before Sheila and her pack, this animal being in the Matchmakers' ranks. He has Grendel fling the opossum into his waiting mouth, serving as his breakfast! He is berated by Aspen, the wolf criticizing the Hunter-Killers for forming a group rather than remaining as independent predators. Leopold shoots back, taunting his hypocrisy for being in a pack, and exclaims that if they hope to defeat Atlas, they must work with the lion's group. He walks away to let them think about their situation (and enjoy his wriggling breakfast). Personality The lion's shining mane, powerful complexion, and high charisma makes him an excellent leader for the predators under him. He has always envisioned a paradise for predators, and aims to make the Megawild that paradise. The Matchmakers had only inspired him further, giving him a force to fight against. Though they haven't exactly been pushovers, Leopold enjoys the challenge of asserting dominance, and continues to have big dreams about the future. Leopold can be seen as lazy by some, but his strong build can certainly go against this. He simply delegates a lot of tasks to others below him, focusing on working out and keeping his body strong. Leopold can hold his own, but he holds great value in teamwork, believing a mass of powerful predators to be unstoppable. Leopold, unsurprisingly, sees prey creatures to be vastly inferior, serving only one purpose: to be food! The only animal that has stopped him in his tracks would be the Matchmakers' leader, Fiona, whose cunning and guile have blindsided him on more than one occasion! The other animal to have caused him trouble would be the all-eating bear himself, which has prompted the lion to gather more notorious predators to strengthen his group. While Leopold keeps it cool most of the time, these roadblocks have been quite stressful for him, and the lion tries to maintain his composure no matter the burden. Forte/Skills The foundation of the Hunter-Killers began with Leopold and the mark he has left on the Megawild. Only through sheer power did he make a name for himself, demonstrating his cause and ambitions. With so many other predators admiring him, his group was formed, and this is also an exemplary case in how high his charisma is. Aside from this, Leopold's pure body strength is hardly matched by other animals, the lion holding duels with those in his ranks to demonstrate and to gauge how much further he has to push himself. One of his greatest feats was surviving a battle with Atlas himself! He often recalls the fight with many a hyperbole, but its happening is enough to turn any animal's head. It is important to remember that this fight was a draw, however, and that Leopold hopes to take out the bear once and for all, dreaming of devouring him whole so that he may inherit his strength!

Lyla is a bird who has made a name for herself with her relentless hunt for food and her cruel methods. She is a big glutton with an ornery attitude, a big contrast with the rest of her family with slight exception of her father.

A Silly Dare Lyla was minding her own business one day when a trio of cats decided to use her for a dare. One of the cats went up to her and hugged her as part of the dare. Lyla promptly swallowed him after feigning a pleased countenance. Soon after, she swallowed the cat’s two other friends. The buzzard ordered the cats to give her stomach rubs from inside if they wish to be spit back out. They all complied except for one cat, Davy. The other two were let out while Davy remained inside, though after some begging and a promise to feed Lyla for the rest of his days, he was let out as well, but kept captive by the bird. Snack Attack Davy would spend about a month fetching Lyla prey until one night, he would find that a vole that he had fed her was still alive and calling out for help. Davy would reach in and grab the vole from Lyla's guts, though he managed to wake her up and nearly lost his leg to her sharp beak. Davy pulled out the vole without Lyla noticing, but the bird tied him up to the tree branch. When she went back to sleep, the vole promised Davy he would return with an army. After another day of feeding the buzzard, Lyla was subsequently attacked by the army of voles, though it was a short lived battle, as the bird devoured every last one. Guessing that Davy had conducted the attack, Lyla went in after him, but was staggered when the voles coordinated an attack from within her gizzard. Lyla fell hard into the ground so that her talons sunk into the earth. Davy took this opportunity to escape once and for all, and the buzzard soon grew sick enough to vomit out all the voles. Present Day Lyla understandably holds a deep grudge for Davy and often dreams about savoring his acidic demise inside her stomach. She has grown a distaste for cats in general and, due to her headstrong nature, she has her sights on Leopold of the Hunter-Killers. For now, she simmers with rage and carries on her days, eating more often than usual. Personality Lyla cares little for the plight of others and rather revels in it. She is a cruel bird with an unpleasant attitude and a disdain for kindness, believing one should take every means possible to survive and enjoy their own life, rather than living to help others. Despite these rebellious traits, Lyla secretly carries respect for members of her family as well as Remus, a heron that chases after her trying to get her to change her ways. She is not a bird completely devoid of appreciation and dignity. She also carries respect for strong predators, taking notes from watching their methods, though she does hate Aspen, the buzzard considering him a competitor. Forte/Skills The ornery raptor carries great mobility and coordination in flight despite her size. In fact, all the extra fat on her has strengthened those skills. Lyla has a particular fondness for diving down on prey, snatching them up quickly and unexpectedly and stuffing them into her gizzard with little effort. She can also continue flying when bloated, which says a lot of her upper body strength. Her ability to resist attacks, more notably her resistance to insect stings, allows Lyla to eat creatures that other predators wouldn't dare mess with. Lyla's stomach acids are actually quite viscous, like a fine sludge. This slime is sticky and does a great job bogging down prey so that they don't struggle as much.

Michelle is Sheila's companion and follows her wherever she goes. The two have a strong bond, acting like family.

Caught in a Snare Michelle's first encounter with Sheila was under dire circumstances. The vixen found herself caught in a bear trap. Already stricken by hopelessness, it was made even worse when the she-wolf appeared. Believing it was the end, Michelle braced herself, but was shocked to discover the wolf was not interested in finishing her off. Instead, Sheila freed her from the trap. Michelle did not flee, because not only was her leg injured, but she was still flabbergasted that a wolf would save her like that. It was not long, however, before more wolves came in, aiming to attack Sheila. The wolfess gobbled Michelle up, escaping the angered wolves. Warming Up to Each Other When the coast was clear, Sheila released Michelle, which surprised the fox even further. Why was this wolf bent on keeping her alive? They were still not exactly on talking terms, but Sheila proceeded to take care of the vixen's leg until it had healed. Michelle soon realized this wolf was lonely and needed a companion. She became comfortable around Sheila, considering her a second mother almost. The two would grow to become great friends, the vixen helping Sheila with whatever she needed, even when Sheila had grown vastly overweight. First Sight on Aspen Michelle discovered through time that Sheila was watching over a certain wolf. Michelle had never heard of him until now, but received quite a close look herself one night when this wolf snatched her and ate her whole. It happened so quickly that the fox thought that Sheila had eaten her initially, but then noticed the belly was tighter than usual, causing her to panic. She was eventually released not long after finding a poisonous frog in Aspen's stomach with her. The frog made him sick and forced the mexican wolf to spit her out, which subsequently signaled to Sheila to regurgitate them all. Michelle later received a bath and a story from Sheila, the she-wolf explaining her past with Aspen and her pack. Sheila felt obligated to watch over him ever since he became an outcast, believing it was her fault that he became as monstrous as he was. Barely Survival Michelle had met Davy a few weeks before the incident with Atlas. As she and the cat travelled back to Sheila, Davy told Michelle tales of the city he came from, even offering to take her there one day when he could figure out where it was. When they returned to Sheila, they found that she was fighting Atlas, a hulking monster of a bear. Rushing to Sheila’s aid, Michelle tugged on the back of Atlas’ neck scruff and noticed a microchip implanted in his neck. She was then effortlessly tossed into the air and into Atlas’ belly, which was holding LBW already. As the two stewed away in the bear’s acids, Sheila squeezed into his spacious stomach next. The vixen had set her hopes on Sheila defeating him, but with her in the stomach as well, Michelle started to give up hope, cuddling close to Sheila and waiting for the end. Suddenly, a strange and dizzying force caused the bear to end up regurgitating them all. Coated in his thick fluids, Michelle and the others escaped, the fox picking up an unconscious Davy nearby. Later that night, Michelle and the others huddled up in a cave near a lake to ponder over what had transpired. Sheila wondered how they escaped their acidic fates and Davy revealed that he manipulated a machine to get Atlas to vomit them all up. Only knowing that he saved them all, Sheila gave Davy a kiss in thanks, welcoming him to their small pack. Michelle was ecstatic and offered to show Davy the games she plays with Sheila, some involving the she-wolf’s guts. The Hunter-Killers Michelle is very happy to have Davy on their team, finally, and is doubly happy that Sheila is more accepting of him. They go to sleep in their new shelter, but Michelle finds herself waking up in a dark pit, covered in stomach juices! It's not long before she realizes she and her pack were taken by Perseus and Grendel, who are involved in a gang of predators called the Hunter-Killers, a notorious group of predators created specifically to put prey creatures in their place. They are approached by Leopold, the leader of this group, who wishes to recruit them and find out how they evaded the all-eating bear Atlas. The Misfits Strike Back Hours after Leopold leaves them, Davy comes up with a plan for the pack to escape the pit. Getting eaten by Michelle intentionally, he cries out in horror to attract the attention of Grendel, who lounges nearby. Grendel comes down to confront Michelle, and Sheila takes the opportunity to lunge and pin his head under her belly, creating tension in the snake's ropey body so that Aspen and Michelle can climb out. Outside of the pit, the trio get in position to grasp onto the snake's body so that Sheila can climb out next. She fails to do so and her weight causes her to fall back down onto Grendel's head, knocking out the serpent. Sheila instructs them to run, nudging LBW to lead them to safety. LBW leads the pack and they rush towards the direction of a mountainous region. Aspen tells Michelle and Davy to move on without him, encouraging them to split up since he smells something hunting them. Michelle continues to run with Davy, Constance watching them as they go. Personality Michelle has a welcoming and cheerful personality. She is a lot of fun to be around, as she looks for every opportunity to have fun as well. She is almost never pessimistic about anything and depends greatly on her wolf friend, as free-spirited as she can be. The fox's optimism is linked to her past and is how she was able to survive on her own for as long as she has, despite not having been taught much about the wilderness. Sheila helps her with this missing knowledge, teaching her all the tricks she learned being in a wolf pack. Forte/Skills The vixen does not have to work hard to charm others. There is a natural allure to her foxy looks that can melt the hearts of even the most hardened of predators. Her bouncy cheerfulness is quite attractive to many and can cause one to lower their guard around her, making them an easy meal. Aside from this, all of Michelle's other notable skills revolve around that normal for a fox, including her speed, smarts, and litheness.

Nino runs a clinic in the wilderness. Because of his advanced technology, knowledge, work ethic, and caring attitude, he has grown quite a reputation among the animals in the wild, unfortunately sometimes catching the attention of opportunistic predators.

Present Day Nino Stoat continues to run his clinic with his wife, the two being very busy 6 days a week. Viola teases Nino about a child from time to time, though he is not quite ready for one. He feels incredibly fortunate to have someone as patient as Viola having his back regardless. Personality Nino is a caring soul whose biggest passion in life is to help nurture his fellow predators, which is, of course, why he decided to open his clinic. He has a wealth of knowledge relating to biology, which allows him to quickly diagnose any illnesses that a predator is having and how to heal it. He is a hard working stoat who is also very respectful. His mate, Viola, is very special to him, and he loves her enough that he even becomes willing to put up with her pranks and fun-loving nature that leads to her sometimes dismantling their professional statures. Nino is so respectful to other predators that he does not seek justice to those that wrong him or try to devour him with the intent of digesting him. Compared to his wife, Nino is more soft-spoken and tender with how he speaks. He aims to provide comfort to his fellow predators and has gained a very high reputation among them for his efforts. As great as his work ethic is, Nino always looks forward to break time, and wishes not to be disturbed during this special time, even by his wife. Forte/Skills As previously touched on, Nino's talents lie in his knowledge of biology and application of healing techniques. He finds himself having to squirm around a predator's guts very often to remove a source of pain for them. More often than not, Nino deals with predators' upset stomachs, and he even offers cleaning services to increase the efficiency and health of one's guts. When Nino has to deal with other issues like a predator having an illness, he goes to his wife for suggestions, as she is more suited for medicinal research. Despite this, Nino's applications are sensible and on the mark every time.

viola is the wife of Nino and also his assistant. She helps him with tougher jobs and when he has to deal with a predator that is not trustworthy. Outside of the job, Viola loves to tease Nino, expressing her fun side.

Present Day Viola Stoat continues to run her clinic with her husband, the two being very busy 6 days a week. Viola teases Nino about a child from time to time, though he is not quite ready for one. He feels incredibly fortunate to have someone as patient as Viola having his back regardless. Personality Viola is the opposite of Nino in many ways, seeking thrills and generally wanting to have fun, though even she knows when not to take things too far. Outside of the job, Viola takes every opportunity to scheme a plot to make Nino's day particularly interesting, aside from all the guts they tend to squirm around in. She loves to try out new things, though Nino is not quite as eager to share in that experience. The stoat girl's friskiness is tolerated by her husband with two exceptions: That she not mess with him during break time and that it isn't dangerous or too outlandish. Her favorite thing to do by far is stuffing Nino inside of her, whether it's into her stomach or another, more sensual organ further down. She is convinced there is almost nothing quite as intimate as having his entire body inside of her, aside from intercourse. Viola sometimes fakes her emotions to get her way from Nino, and she is very good at this, easily swaying Nino's judgments towards her favor. She feels guilty manipulating him like this, but in the end, she considers it all for a better outcome for the both of them, sometimes just for Nino to get him out of his bubble. Forte/Skills The lady stoat has a vast knowledge of plants and herbs, being able to create a wide array of medicines for many different illnesses. Her work is a marvel to behold and she takes a lot of pride in her scavenging and crafting abilities. Nino always turns to her when there is an illness reported from a client. Like Nino, Viola is slender and can easily squeeze into someone's guts to provide cleaning services or to remove a blockage that is causing the client pain. As stated before, Viola's tendencies to fake her emotions almost comes as second nature. The stoat is very good at making these emotions seem very real, and she uses it to her advantage to get her way most of the time. For this reason, others are very discouraged from talking down to her in any way, even if it's meant to be constructive. Viola's mother admits she got it from her, though even she considers it a valuable skill that isn't as easy as it seems, and sets a mark for a unique art harbored by female stoats.

Sheila is a former alpha female who now leads an unorthodox pack of misfits in the Megawild. This pack consists of Aspen, Michelle, and Davy. Seeing this new pack as another chance to right some past wrongs, she watches over and supports them however she can. Despite her huge frame and girthy stomach, this she-wolf can put up a hard fight.

Story Alpha Female Sheila was already slated to be the alpha of her pack. Once she reached that status, she ruled over her pack with fervor and dedication, bringing prosperity to the family for years. Her mate, the alpha male, was quite the frightful wolf, bringing fear to the pack with his brutish nature. Secretly, Sheila harbored resentment for him, as their personalities caused some disarray and chaos in the family. 2 Years later, Sheila started to grow tired of her mate, as he grew more and more controlling of the pack. He prevented Sheila from helping others, including comforting Aspen, the omega of the pack who was actually adopted into the family. After Aspen's breakdown, killing of one of their members, and his escape, Sheila finally had enough. Transforming from a caring and considerate mentor, Sheila one night sneaked up on her mate and swallowed him whole. She proceeded to digest him, but she suddenly became remorseful. By then it was already too late. Sheila escaped the pack, and once they realized what she had done, they began to chase her across the wilderness tirelessly. Encountering Michelle For another two seasons, Sheila kept trying to evade her pursuers. Having thought she lost them for good, the former alpha became incredibly lonely and filled with sadness, even considering offering herself to another predator. Then she found her. Sheila encountered a vixen who had been caught in a frightening metallic trap. It had clamped around her foot, injuring it. Sheila managed to open the trap, releasing the fox. Instead of running away, however, the vixen questioned the wolf. Sheila, stunned by her audacity, explained she did what she felt was right. The vixen herself was flabbergasted at Sheila's act of kindness, let alone the fact that she hadn't eaten the fox yet. Their conversation was cut short by a surprise ambush by Sheila's pack members. Sheila quickly swallowed up the fox, carrying her in her belly as she made her escape. Sheila herself was injured by the wolves' attack, knowing the vixen probably would have been killed in her current condition if she left her there. Once she felt she lost them again, Sheila regurgitated the fox, who was even more shocked that Sheila didn't keep her inside. The two creatures shared a very awkward moment together as they stayed in hiding. Sheila offered to heal up Michelle's leg with some berries and special leaves. As she mulched up the mixture and spread it over her leg, the two creatures introduced each other and their names. Their friendship had just begun to bloom. Aspen's Confrontation Years have passed and Sheila and Michelle had grown very close to each other. One night, Michelle spotted Sheila spying on a male wolf. Sheila finally revealed to the fox that she had been tracking him down for a while now, watching over the omega that she failed to help. Just as she looked away, however, the wolf was gone, and then he was right to their side, pouncing onto Michelle and quickly gulping her down. Aspen attacked Sheila, realizing too late who she really was. Sheila countered him and sent him flying into a tree, knocking the wind out of him. The wolfess attempted to free Michelle, but Aspen was able to keep her inside him. Sheila resorted instead to eating him whole, threatening him with digestion. Aspen was stubborn and sought to keep his meal, but his stomach grew sick. The wolf had eaten a tree frog along with Michelle. The frog with its poisonous coating caused Aspen to spit them both out, which then brought Sheila to release them all from her guts. Sheila let Aspen leave peacefully afterwards. As she cleaned Michelle's fur later that same night, she explained to Michelle that she was indeed his mentor back then and that she noticed Aspen's descent into madness, transforming him into a demon on the prowl not for prey, but for those to manipulate and terrorize. Barely Survival The she-wolf would continue to watch Aspen, not sure how they keep finding each other. Observing as Aspen exited a rabbit family’s home with a bloated stomach, she would soon watch in horror as Atlas the bear would snatch LBW and swallow him with hardly a struggle. Sheila followed Atlas to a clearing where the two would fight, Atlas already familiar with Sheila and revealing she was to be hunted by him eventually. Atlas got the upper paw over Sheila but Michelle tried to come to her rescue, winding up being swallowed by the bear. In a rage, Sheila rushed in to attack once more, but Atlas saw this coming, finally gulping her down next. Inside Atlas’ stomach, Sheila succumbed and accepted her fate, asking Michelle to stay close to her. Eventually, however, they would all be expelled from the bear’s churning guts, making a run for it immediately afterwards. Later that night, they huddled up in a cave by a lake, Davy joining them as well. Sheila wondered how they escaped their acidic fates and Davy revealed that he manipulated a machine to get Atlas to vomit them all up. Only knowing that he saved them all, Sheila gave Davy a kiss in thanks, welcoming him to their small pack. The Hunter-Killers Sheila has a new pack now; it is certainly not what she expected, but she knows they must stick together to have a chance against Atlas if they were to encounter him again. She is aware of how much Davy and Michelle enjoy each other’s company. She also knows LBW detests being in a pack again, but even he realizes he hardly has a choice now. This could be a great opportunity to open up to him and keep him out of harm’s way and a bad path, something she wishes she did back then. The following night after their encounter with Atlas, Sheila is swallowed whole by Grendel the anaconda while she is asleep, not long after he had eaten Aspen. They are transported to an estuary where they are then released into a deep pit to remain imprisoned. Soon they are approached by Leopold, leader of the Hunter-Killers. He is aware of Sheila and LBW's notoriety and their streak of gluttony. He hopes to enlist them to join his group, but Aspen hotly rejects him, saying that he is a free wolf and detests those that group together, even if for a cause. Leopold asks them to think on his suggestion in joining them, as Atlas won't stop his hunt for him and the wolves unless they strike back. The Misfits Strike Back Hours after Leopold leaves them, Davy comes up with a plan for the pack to escape the pit. Getting eaten by Michelle intentionally, he cries out in horror to attract the attention of Grendel, who lounges nearby. Grendel comes down to confront Michelle, and Sheila takes the opportunity to lunge and pin his head under her belly, creating tension in the snake's ropey body so that Aspen and Michelle can climb out. Outside of the pit, the trio get in position to grasp onto the snake's body so that Sheila can climb out next. She fails to do so and her weight causes her to fall back down onto Grendel's head, knocking out the serpent. Sheila instructs them to run, nudging LBW to lead them to safety. As the trio dashes towards a mountainous area, Sheila, not seeing any means of escape, decides to swallow Grendel whole as a final act of defiance. Her big belly incredibly full and satisfied, she revels in the movements of her gut, hoping that the other three manage to escape the estuary unharmed. Personality Back in her pack days, Sheila was dedicated to inspiring and helping each member of her pack, just as an alpha wolf should. She was taught well and knows much about the lands, hunting, and general survival. She, however, dislikes being controlled, and her mate's tight grip on her had led her to resort to extreme measures to free herself. Now Sheila cares for Michelle, having a very motherly attitude. Outside of that, the wolfess hardly has a care in the world, and feasts regularly, adding to her huge paunch. She has slowed down over the years because of her eating habits, and grows more and more lethargic and lazy each day, that is, until the run-in with Atlas, which has prompted her to take action as leader of a new, unorthodox pack of animals. Forte/Skills Sheila has always packed a huge amount of power in her and uses her big mass to add to that strength. Aside from this, she only has notable skills in foraging the wilderness and hunting. Even though she gains a lot of weight, she at least imparted her hunting knowledge onto Michelle, the fox growing wiser every year. The wolfess' gut is massive, able to store huge amounts of food. With her experience in gorging herself, her stomach itself has grown, demanding more food and thus adding more to her figure in a shorter amount of time. While she is not concerned much about this, her vixen companion is, and aims to do something about it.

Remus is a heron known for being very helpful in the avian community because of his willingness to watch over their children. By doing this, the adult birds are able to further build their homes and spend time relaxing and socializing. Because of this, Remus is very much respected.

Present Day Remus is highly against the conflicts that are occurring in the Megawild between predator and prey species. He wishes for peace and tries to help others as much as he can to show his belief that kindness and hospitality are the ways all animals must follow. He tries to converse with animals at Lavish Lake, a widely agreed upon neutral zone, to sway them to a more peaceful mindset. These days, the heron is also obsessed with talking down his niece, Lyla to try to move her away from the vengeful life she leads. Personality Remus is a wise and considerate bird, trying his best not to succumb to temptations in an effort to maintain his name and serve as a good example. He has many lessons and skills to teach to younger birds and spends most of his time taking care of them, as this is his passion. In addition to that, Remus is quite well-mannered and tries to instill etiquette to others who aren't quite on the level he is. He has considered Lyla to be his toughest subject. Even in her adulthood, Remus still pursues her, trying to urge her to change her gluttonous ways. Lyla describes Remus as "intrusive, nosy, and really really obnoxious." It is true that Remus tends to pressure others a lot until they take up his ideals, but his intentions remain good. Forte/Skills Remus, as a heron would be, is great at fishing and spends most of his off time at his favorite pond, eating trout. Aside from catching fish, Remus is also a great conversationalist, his soothing voice helping out greatly with that. Seeing as he gets out a lot and interacts with all sorts of families, Remus has plenty of stories to tell. Although Remus tries not to indulge too much in food, his capacity is shockingly large. His throat is especially elastic, the heron able to swallow something twice his size. Another skill Remus has, simply put, is his discipline and patience. The heron has had to deal with many rambunctious and noisy children, and this has improved his skills in composure and humility. He holds these values near and dear to his heart and hopes he can train others to do the same.

The smoothest-talking lizard in the wild, Perseus, or Percy as he likes to be called, wanders in the wilderness in search for creatures that are of a more sophisticated mind. He also searches for a filling, wriggling meal too, of course.

The Hunter-Killers Percy is tasked to watch over his peer, Grendel, as the anaconda goes to take in Sheila's pack and bring them back to the Hunter-Killers' estuary unharmed. Percy, however, joins in, swallowing down Michelle and Davy after Grendel had eaten Aspen and Sheila. The lizard says he cannot trust the snake to digest them on the spot, knowing how he behaved in the past. He and the anaconda head to the estuary and regurgitate them in a dirt pit so they can be approached by Leopold without any incident. The lizard observes from a distance, basking in the sun as the lion conversates with them. Personality Perseus is a thinking lizard, and tends to take more complex routes when it comes to things like catching prey. He uses traps and other means to ensnare his food, otherwise he finds the whole thing dreadfully boring. He is a smooth talker and loves listening to himself talk at times. His voice is enough to sway his prey right into his gullet. Being a thinking lizard means Percy is also quite fond of animals that have dedicated their lives to a higher cause, rather than living to simply breed, eat, and sleep. Forte/Skills Perseus has many tools to take care of both predator and prey. His saliva is sticky, so he can create a pool of it to entangle anyone to the sticky trap. The monitor lizard is also able to regenerate parts of his body, making him incredibly hard to digest. He carries more unorthodox ways to take advantage of his foes. With a single bite, Perseus can infect his victims with a special venom that temporarily controls their mind. This can lead to more creative ways to lure out more prey. Lastly, Percy's scales adjust their hue in the darkness, allowing the lizard to become partially invisible under the night.

The Megawild Overview This continental island is where the Feralverse takes place. Within it live animals with heightened intelligence and sense of self-awareness, reflecting that of humans. These animals, through time, have created their own groups, civilizations, and have claimed different parts of the Megawild. Greendale Glen This beautiful valley is claimed by the Matchmakers, a group of mostly prey species following a visionary doe named Fiona. The glen is seen as a sanctuary for many prey creatures because of the sheer amount of Matchmakers there and their capabilities in fighting off predators. It's not uncommon for predators to stumble upon them and likely become a live and served meal for Fiona. Elegant Estuary Along the northern coast, a river and tributaries flow into the vast ocean ahead. This whole plot of land is owned by the Hunter-Killers, an elitist group of predators who see the Matchmakers as mortal enemies. It is a big water source and also a home to Beaver Constructors. There are at least a few Beaver Towns set up in this area, and they enjoy protection from the Hunter-Killers. Lavish Lake A large lake that sits in the middle of the continental island is frequented by many different species and groups. It is seen as a peace zone, and not even Hunter-Killers and Matchmakers fight each other here. The lake is filled with big schools of fish and is especially popular with marine hunters like heron and bears. Burrow Burroughs A network of tunnels underneath the Megawild home to mostly rodents. These vast and complex burrows serve as great protection for these creatures and link to many different underground towns. Rabbits and moles are other creatures that are commonly seen in these burrows as well. The Groups Appeasers Appeasers are creatures that provide medical services to other animals. They are very uncommon. An example would be the Doctor Stoats, Nino and Viola, they and their clinic very well known across the Megawild. One other example is a small group of animals to the east that provide massage therapy and even a hot spring! Main Characters in this group: Nino, Viola Carriers Carriers pride themselves as being depended on for important deliveries throughout the Megawild. They mostly consist of avians of all different sizes and do not have any specific allegiance, lending their services to those that offer the best rewards. Main Characters in this group: Remus

Hunter-Killers Hunter-Killers are notorious, elitist predators that live in the northern part of the continent. They are led by a visionary, pompous lion named Leopold, and have a particular beef with the Matchmakers. Seeing as how they look down on prey creatures, they consider the Matchmakers their mortal enemies, their main mission being to take down their leader, Fiona. Main Characters in this group: Leopold, Perseus, Constance Laggards Laggard is a derogatory term given to those that are completely neutral and do not contribute anything to the developing societies of the Megawild. They normally wander the lands and try to stay away from others' affairs, or simply cause trouble wherever they walk. They are looked down on by almost all other groups because of this. Main Characters in this group: Sheila, Michelle, LBW, Davy, Lyla Matchmakers The Matchmakers are a group of mostly prey animals that rebel against the notion of a food chain and aim to make every species strong enough to fend for themselves on equal grounds. The group is led by a charming doe named Fiona, who acts as a mentor for many creatures to embrace their predatory side. Their main enemies are the Hunter-Killers, who wantonly devour prey species. Main Characters in this group: Fiona
