Description

    7 milion years ago, when the Dixon island where a bunch of small islands, a lone small bumblebager species get in one of the island. While the island size was growing with the global ice caps, these badgers became bigger and more active hunters, irradiate to a series of species. One of them would became the most intelligent creature of the Dixon Island, the Bumblehyena.

    Bumblehyenas evolved 2 milion years ago from a social bumbledger species that evolved in the Dixon’s islands. They move and run very similar as earth Hyenas and have a powerful bite, utilizing their keratinized teeth-like structures to break bones.

    But unlike their earth counterparts, Bumblehyenas are not a restricted matriarchal species. Their packs are organized within a dominant and older couple that have reproductive rights and their son. Male and female has the same authority in their pack but non-dominant males are in a worse social position than their sisters. Young males and females often migrate to pack from pack for genetic interchange in the reproductive season. When a dominant couple get old and stop reproducing, a younger couple formed assume their place, but the old couple stay as respected elders of the pack. Young males and females can usually go rough and create together a new family if the conditions are right. Families with more than one reproductive couple is not uncommon, specially when are formed with brothers.

    Bumblehyenas are very cultural animals and cultural animals and some populations have different strategies of predation. Some started digging and making simple traps, like their distant relatives the gravedigger in the north. Others make elaborated coordinated hunts to get fast and agile prey. Some even utilize the ambient, persecuting their prey until it get near a high place from where other bumblehyana thrown rocks and wood over the prey.

    But some population started something revolutionary. They started a specie of farming. One of these population acts like shepherd dogs on earth, protecting their prey packs from other hunters and preferentially getting a older or sick individual. Other population do different; they have a opportunistic but intelligent relationship with the predator that they often still prey: the Dragon Squave.

    Bumblehyeanas usually steal prey from other predators, often killing them if there is resistance. But these population is different. They recognize males and females Dragon Squaves by their color pattern and steal prey only from males. Even with the males, they will grab some meat of the former prey and grab in a place near the former owner of the meal. They also recognizes young Dragon Squaves and never kill them for a opportunist meal.

     These habits make the Dragon Squave population near these packs triplicate. When there is to much Dragon Squaves, the prey population drops and them these started trying to kill the males when they encounter one and star stealing the food of females. They can kill Dragon Squaves with little problem because their diet with decomposing meat give them a very strong immunological system.

    This is a very efficient system and some population of farmers of prey and farmers of predator started to overlap, in some place, are packs that regulate when Dragon Squaves could or not hunt. These is possible because Bumblehynas are near sophont creatures, having a primitive vocabulary that helps them to command their hunt strategies.

    Bumblehynas mastered the Dixon Island’s as the dominant predator, not necessarily by hunting.

This is a reboot of the former "Bumbledogs" because i though that a Hyena like creature would make more sense with a bumblebadger biology.
