• Sciurus-Proles squirrel offspring (also includes rats and mice)             

• Lacerta-Proles lizard descendant             

Core group: Vulpes-Proles

Subspecies: Amph

Descent: fox

Size: head-torso length from 85 to 160 centimeters (with tail 137 to 189 centimeters), withers from 77 to 95 centimeters. 

Weight: 55 to 86 kilograms

Color and Appearance: Cobalt blue fur with shades of black. The body structure is almost identical to that of the red fox.

Character: Quiet, treacherous.

Features: White star drawing on the forehead.

Lifespan: The oldest known amph has been housed in the Historia research station for nine years. He is now estimated to be twelve years old. It is impossible to predict how the derivative gene will affect the further course of aging.

Distribution: Very common

Distribution area: North and South America, Europe and Africa.  

-----

Core group: Meles-Proles

Subspecies: arbor

Descent: It is assumed that the original tribal father belonged to the marten-like animals.

Size: head-torso length from 48 to 72 centimeters (with tail 92 to 124 centimeters), withers from 30 to 42 centimeters. 

Weight: 0.8 kg to 1.7 kg

Color and Appearance: The outer skin of the body is set in a pink tone with yellow shades. The belly and tail, on the other hand, are pure yellow. The physique resembles that of a Maders. The bony, jagged shield on the head is an extension of the skull, behind which the small, round ears are hidden. In the case of the males, the shield turns dark red when advertising for the partner. The long tail is very strong and is used for climbing and holding on (it sleeps in a tree with its head down). Razor-sharp teeth are hidden in the pointed snout. The arbor communicates through chirping sounds.

Character: The arbor is extremely aggressive as soon as someone comes near its sleeping tree.

Features: Nocturnal. If it attacks, it always goes straight to the eyes, and then eats its way into the body with its sharp claws and pointed teeth. 

Lifespan: The oldest known arbor was housed at the Historia research station for nine years before it died. According to the knowledge obtained, it is assumed that it has an approximate life expectancy of twelve years. 

Distribution: very rare

Distribution area: It is native to South and North America, but has also been sighted in Europe. 

-----

Core group: Capella-Proles

Subspecies: Beccus

Ancestry: Studies show that the Beccus originally descended from the common domestic goat.

Size: head-torso length from 120 to 152 centimeters (with tail 220 to 237 centimeters), withers from 57 to 70 centimeters.

Weight: 12 to 17 kilograms

Color and Appearance: A Beccus is "large-framed" and has a long, bushy tail. The head is slightly longer than it is wide, and goes over into a snout with a beak-like horn tip. The eyes are set wide apart, and the ears are large and broad at the base, and very long. The white-brown fur is water-repellent and protects the Beccus from the worst of cold even in deep winter.

Character: Quiet. Extremely intelligent. Pack animals.

Characteristics: The three horn-like outgrowths on the head are, besides the sharp claws, the most striking feature of the Beccus.

Lifespan: A Beccus has a life expectancy of five to seven years.

Distribution: normal

Distribution area: South and North America, Europe. 

-----

Core group: Canis-Proles 

Subspecies: Candir

Lineage: dog

Size: head-torso length from 182 to 217 centimeters (with tail 269 to 303 centimeters), withers from 97 to 105 centimeters.

Weight: 204 to 236 kilograms

Color and appearance: The Candir is a pure white dog descendant. It has extremely long hangings on its front legs that continue on its body and tail. Although it clearly has the body shape of a Golden Retriever, it is often referred to colloquially as the polar bear among the proles because of its color and size. Due to ball joints, the Candir is able to stand on two legs like a bear and use its front paws as a weapon, but because of its drooping ears it cannot hear well.

Character: Very aggressive. Exceptional intelligence.

Characteristics: The Candir is born 90 percent deaf, but due to its visual acuity it has little effect on it. The Candir lives monogamous and dies when his partner dies.

Lifespan: The oldest known Candir has been housed in the Historia research station for 17 years. He is estimated to be 21 years old. It can be assumed that he was one of the first descendants who escaped from the research facility near Riverton, Wyoming in the USA near Yellowstone National Park. It is impossible to predict how the derivative gene will affect the further course of aging.

Distribution: Rare

Distribution area: The Candir is highly adaptable and can now be found on every continent. This prole is not afraid of hot climates or arctic cold.

New dress
Mommy, when will you have cake?" I tugged at her dress when she didn't react immediately to show her that I was getting impatient. "I'm hungry for cake."She stopped washing the glass under the clear water in the sink and smiled down at me. With her blonde hair she looked like an angel. Yes, my mommy was an angel. "It'll take a moment, Grace.""How long is a moment?"“As soon as I'm done here, I have to set the table. But don't worry, I'll call you then. Go play in the garden while you are. "Hm, but I didn't want to play in the garden at all. I had played in the garden with Wynn all day, now I wanted my birthday cake. "But then I'll still starve."She screwed up her eyes critically and played and pursed her lips a little while she looked me up and down in my yellow summer dress. It was my birthday dress that we had specially called for today. I got a new dress every birthday. "You're right," she said thoughtfully. “My poor darling is o

Happy birthday
Lured by the screaming of the children, Mommy ran out of the house and found another of these animals. She tried to slam the door quickly when the non-dog jumped at her, but by then he had already torn her to the ground and bit her shoulder. She screamed and screamed in panic. I could hear it all over the garden. Mommy was scared he hurt her!Suddenly the air was filled with screaming, crying and wailing. In between, the strange animals growling again and again. I heard Moritz calling for his mom and the screeching of Chiara. One of these non-dogs had bitten into her leg and was dragging her, growling, into the nearest bushes, while another Uncle Roderick, with his cell phone to his ear, chased around the house until I could no longer see him.Wynn clutched my arm, crying, while the plush behind us still tried to bite its way through the fence. In the meantime, three others made it into the garden, jumped over the fence near the terrace and immediately rushed, drooling

Growling
.............Come on!” Bay cheered the drooling beast. "Show me what you can!"The crane, an Ursus prole, with the colors of the rising sun, crept around its victim, growling. He kept his eyes on the young, blond man's small handgun. He had learned in the years of his imprisonment. He knew how dangerous this thing was, that it meant pain. But he was hungry, so very hungry. And sometimes he even managed to grab a bite before the pain came.Sometimes.His huge paws made no sound on the soft sand as he crept around his victim. He wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted or the pain came, sending him twitching to the ground. He wouldn't stop until his hunger was satisfied.His narrow skull with the horn-like bony outgrowths on the back of his head was dark as the shadows of the night, just like his watchful eyes. The black color ran from the head over the chest down to the stomach and then gradually turned into the orange-red, long fur, whic

Essay
"Now finally hit him on the face!" Roared Mr. Keiper at his apprentice. Even from up here I could see that the bald man had a bright red head again. "Use your head, do what you've learned!"When I heard a giggle four rows below, I fixed my gaze. There, in the first row of the stands, sat Pia and Marle, the only other girls in our year of training.The Beluosus Academy accepted around seventy-five students each year, of which no more than ten were girls. The hunt for monsters was a man's domain after all - at least that's what the guys liked to imagine. I had a completely different opinion, which was not only due to the fact that I belonged to the female gender myself.Pia chuckled at Bay's awkwardness. Maybe I should remind her how she looked with the Wrath last week. You could really have believed that she hadn't learned anything here in the last two years.From the kennel I heard the angry growl of the crane when Bay finally hit him on the short muzzle.

Approval
Reads like a bad thriller," I muttered, turning my face to her. You wanted an honest opinion? She could have it. "That sounds like a toddler wrote it who had a few sentences dictated by a scientist and in between chats a little with an old friend.""Does that mean I can't hand it over like that?" She asked me, horrified, when the work of ten minutes threatened to slip between her hands."That means it wouldn't hurt if you revised it again. I wouldn't describe it as an essay either, it's too short for that. And since it is not useful for objectivity if you keep inserting your personal opinion or inappropriate comments in between, I would also leave them out. So, yes, you should urgently revise that if you don't want Mr. Keiper to cancel the internship for you. ”I handed her the pad back and didn't mind the fact that she moaned pityingly. “At least the spelling is good. In any case, I did not find any errors. "She grumbled something incomprehensible.

Hurt me
Mr. Keiper looked after him skeptically for a moment before turning his attention back to us. "What I actually wanted to convey to you with the whole thing is, are ..."“Always vigilant,” we all said in unison. That was the motto of every Venator - and of course a budding one, like us. Always alert, always ready.Mr. Keiper nodded satisfied. "Does anyone have any questions?" Unanimous shake of the head. “And everyone knows where to go tomorrow? Well then, pack up your things and make sure you come home. I'll see you on Friday. Unharmed, if I may ask. "That was the sign we had all been waiting for. Conversations started when everyone picked up their stuff from the stands and rushed home before Mr Keiper could think of anything else he thought he had to tell us. Yes, it happened regularly."It's going to be amazing," Evangeline enthused me on the way to the stairs. “We can finally play with the big boys. Only one more night."

Speed
Furious, I put my finger in front of his nose and pressed my lips together so that I wouldn't knock everything on the tip of my tongue. I would love to have him ... ahrrr!"Oh come on, Grace, it wasn't that bad.""Not this time," I said finally and let my finger drop. "But at some point you will be so careless that they'll catch you and when the time comes, Dom, I'll kick your ass in such a way that even your great-grandchildren can still feel it."He grinned and showed me his very special dimple. "I can not wait any longer."What else should you say besides: "Fool." I turned around and walked back the way I had just come."Did you actually want something in particular, or were you just here to plump me?" Domenico called after me."I was only here to prune you." I pulled the heavy steel door open. "And since we didn't have to amputate your arm and you can still tear stupid sayings, I'm leaving now.""It's always nice when you visit me
