Description

The Bronze Wox is a small-sized caniform mammal with a stout, elongated body and short but sturdy legs. Its coat is shaded in warm bronze tones along the bottom of its body, while its back, paws and face are covered in cream fur. A short, grey mane runs from the top of its head and along the spine, giving the animal a roughened silhouette. Its head is narrow with small, rounded ears, and its eyes are sharp and watchful. The tail is short, tipped with a faint tuft of darker fur.

Behaviour

Woxes display a protective temperament. Though small, they become highly dangerous when acting in coordinated packs, capable of driving away even much larger animals. They make their homes in burrows, where they retreat for safety and raise their young.

Building trust

  1. Hostile

    A hostile Wox is small but never alone - reach for one and the whole pack answers. Drop a Wox Snack outside their burrow and step well back; that is the only offer they will accept.

  2. Cautious

    The pack no longer closes in when you approach. Hand a Wox Snack over directly - the same treat given face to face is worth far more than one scattered on the ground.

  3. Neutral

    A neutral Wox sits still while you reach for it. Start stroking it - touch now builds trust considerably faster than feeding.

  4. Warm

    A warm Wox lets you walk right up to its burrow unchallenged. No new gesture opens up at this stage - petting remains by far the fastest way to deepen the bond.

  5. Friendly

    A friendly Wox will leave the pack to follow you. Keep it at your side and lead it back to a nest to make the bond permanent.
