Description

Alrighty still working on picking out some of the drawings from other places I've posted to try and catch up here and, continuing on the wildlife that I have drawings prepared for, lets talk about what your pet dog became!... Well I mean by the time any drek would wake up their original dog would have been dead for decades so uh, the descendants of all those dogs!

Bulver (bulkh-vare) or Bul singular
In addition to being a common natively Õndemic animal, All Canidae, including Dogs, foxes, coyotes, wolves, etc. have been warped and, like most wildlife in the Dragonscape, consolidated into a single species known by the sivilão as bulver. Bulver, due to their predecessors being dogs, are an immensely widespread species throughout the Americas, but are likewise relatively common across the Dragonscape and are reliably found in the vast majority of regions on all planar and most islands. While not the most common animal, they are a pretty normal find.
Bulver are large, wingless and of course flightless birds, generally with a beak tailored to the diet of the specific bul breed. All bulver have long legs that rely on knee joint locomotion. This allows them to have a high level of both speed (often running upwards of 20mph) and agility (often able to outmaneuver the slightly faster but less agile drekir).
Their diet varies breed to breed, two breeds are carnivores, one is an herbivore, and another is omnivorous. So it really varies on the particular breed!
There are four common breeds for the Bulver that make up the vast majority of the population.
Bulverpura: Known better as arid bulver are (very arguably) the most common breed of Bulver to be found as, prior to the drekir awakening there were larger migrations of bulver into more arid regions. Arid bulver are obligate carnivores, eating only meat and nothing else. They are easily identified by their tan, read, amber and green feathers and their broad and powerful beaks. As such they hunt all sorts of meat sources, from other reptiles to large insects. They are lastly the fastest of bulver, being able to sprint upwards of 35mph, easily outrunning many other creatures of the DragonScape.
Bulverkal: Known best as Arctic Bulver are hyper-carnivores, eating mostly meat though they can and will eat a wide variety of different things. Their thick, water resistant feathers both resist the cold and allow them to dive into frigid waters to hunt for fish. They are also notably the largest breed of Bul and will hibernate in the impossibly frigid winters of the polar dragonscape.

Bulverfijal: Or temperate bulver. Being a smaller breed with a versatile omnivorous diet, temperate bulver are particularly unpicky in food sources and are known to be a particular nuisance to many communities in the temperate climates of the Dragonscape. They are best identified by their reddish and leafy green feathers and their pointier beak.
Bulverjuln: Or tropical bulver. Like temperates they are a smaller breed and unlike temperate bulver they are obligate herbivores, subsisting on a diet made up entirely of plants, nuts, the nectar of large flora. They can be seen with colorful and flamboyant plumages of feathers. Males often presenting a far more vibrant plumage of feathers compared to females, that often have a more dullish green tone. Typical bird affairs! Bulverjuln also form far smaller packs than other breeds of Bulver and are far less territorial than other breeds of bulver. Usually forming packs of 6 or fewer and being highly nomadic.

Bulver have a very similar social structure to prepulse dogs with some exceptions. Generally they will form packs that range in size from 6-20 individual bulver and will establish a multi tiered hierarchy. It is common to see a stratification of hierarchy within packs between more dominant "leaders" and less subordinate "followers" within a pack that are all generally closely related. Bulver will only mate during a specific season that varied breed to breed. During this season they are known to generally leave their territory and seek out other packs of bulver, with priority going to the dominant members of a bul pack.

Amongst drekir societies, bulver are generally considered dangerous or annoying by most drekir societies, raiding food stores, hatcheries and sometimes even attacking local drekir. Sometimes warranting a concerted effort to chase a pack out of a region.

Otherwise, drekir will often hunt bulver as a food source, often prizing their feathers for fletchings, or for artistic and decorative purposes.
The Sivilão are very neutral on bulver, considering that most of the economy and population of a Õfuth live within the great walls, in which no bulver really has any reason to go to. So they are seen as generally annoying but not terrible animals.
Bulver are particularly dangerous to human groups. They are known to raid colonies for food, particularly the built up trash that is left in not secure storage that is found in and outside of human outposts. Moreover they are known to attack threats, which can cause anything from a PPE breach or a puncture or bite wound from their beak that is going to likely cause drekification due to the mana exposure and consequent infections.
