Large intelligent predators living pretty large families of 10-15 individuals - genos (genos - Greek. clan, tribe). Their presence could have a significant pressure on the environment, so that Frat eat almost everything, including fruits, berries, mushrooms, and even insects, but the basis of their diet is meat, although here they are illegible and eat all that they can catch, and sometimes - away from other predators and even humans.
But the family for APLF - the only way to live and hunt. Their complex by the standards of animal tradition (growing into a primitive culture), and even a rudimentary language system superstitions demanded enrichment, complex signaling system. As Frat - the largest and most powerful predators of open space, they have no natural enemies. This circumstance and curiosity made them brave and tireless researchers. Frat young, exploring their surroundings genos likely not encounter the dangers smaller predators prefer to hide, other families only frighten or cause to fight, after which a chase. Frat enemies could become only oasis dragons, but their paths rarely cross, because there are dragons only in the oases is endangered, extremely small-numbered species. Another opponent APLF - vrimy - try not to attack unless absolutely necessary. But young Frat not only travel between genos, they often bring in other people's families and new traditions learned from his family. If the food is not enough for all, then feed in the first place, infants and seniors, hunger compels teens to leave the family to look for food on their own and, in the end, we came to another family, or create your own. Its once-established tradition for those who wish to get to genos, bring gifts to prove his ability to find food. Sometimes they have to make a few gifts and closely monitored to avoid being cheated by using granted a meat, but time after time banishing guest. Before Frat young people often died, unable to cope with the hardships of living alone - for Frat loneliness is unbearable, deforms the mind, in the absence of communication, he gradually turns wild and slowly going mad: high intelligence, and has a dark side in the form of exposure to psychosis. Once in Nimraa were people, young Frat often come to the villages themselves, attracted by noise and smell of food. bringing people and APLF was long and, thankfully, bloodless, so from genos genos resounded to the knowledge of people: sometimes adjacent to the village genos could even come to a settlement with barely grown up cubs for "dating." Undoubtedly, the very first military clash would put an end to the trust, but also the people and Frat proudly stood the test. Frat volunteers and live with people who later brought knowledge into genos. We know that some Frat steal pots, bags, cloth fabrics to bring in their families. Thus they adopted the thermal processing of food with an open fire. In fairness it should be noted that heat treatment with hot stones in the sun they have long been known. Especially loved their meat or fruit and berries that are placed in special Frat brought stones - and, for each animal its own stone. Frat even know how to make primitive dishes such as wrapping the berries into the meat. Another trait Frat adopted people - abuse. Expressive, effective words that people use in quarrels and scandals, not resorting to violence, have proved a valuable acquisition, despite the fact that the Frat of genos seldom understood their meaning. 's family care for the cubs and looked after all the adult animals, train hunting games, drive through the neighborhood. It happens that in genos only one cub, followed by walking several adults who wish to stay in the role of educator. At Frat long period of courtship, two or three individuals are eyeing each other carefully selected partners, and rarely separated. This is one of the reasons why they were not able to breed in "captivity." Such intelligent beings did not allow itself to be used as livestock. ball game. in one form or another ball game is present in all species of APLF. Its roots go back to the ritual confrontation when two families or the struggle for power and place in the genos. Equipped with powerful jaws and sharp teeth that can rip the vertebrae, or otherwise mutilate the victim, Frat could use such weapons against each other, even a wounded, dying predator capable of inflicting a wound that will lead to death. Therefore, power solutions ritualized: while fighting two Frat not use your teeth and do not even open its mouth, just a dull roar. Moreover, they do not take steps (though to intercept the tentacles front legs), for the fallen massive animal can break bones. Frat usually are sides to each other and try to budge the enemy, to complicate the fight using a kind of ball - a bundle of skins of animals, which each of the opponents of trying to grab and hold the tentacles. Such fights are subject to strict ritual correctness of execution is followed by all members of the genos / gonosov, especially expensive breach of the rules could cost the young guests wanting to stay in the genos. Very rarely, but especially the arrogant and undisciplined Frat guests can cripple. Frat are visible pleasure battles relatives, cheer snarl, but serious fights are rare, so Frat often resort to explicit game interaction. Some genos is the difference between ritual and game balls. winner of the game violently expresses his pleasure and may even break the ball with emotion.
