Jackal

Jackals were common desert canines. Some desert tribes considered the jackal a natural example of wisdom and cunning.

Description
The jackal looked something like a mixture of a wild fox and a domestic dog. Like other dogs their size, they were skilled at jumping and tracking by scent.

Behavior
Jackals, like other small dogs, hunted in packs,  of about one to six animals, but usually, they scavenged for their food. They were not very brave animals and were not typically aggressive.

Ecology
Jackals were common in the Calim Desert during the time of the city of Cursrah. Along with hyenas, jackals were often found in the Lonely Moor.

Trivia
1077 DR was known as the Year of the Friendly Jackal.
