Ecology and Habitats

Charging across the snowy Taiga, dodging between trees, a team of powerful Madra pull a large sled, their teeth barred and their noses flaring, as their leader coaxes them on, his duster flapping with the speed they achieve. One hand cocking back the hammer of his revolver, the other wrapped around the reigns, and holding his hat to his head as he draws a bead on his target; a bounding stag.

Born in the snowy Foraoise Péine Ghost, the Madra Sneatcha were similar to the Heimatwelter Grünland-Wolfshund, wolf like dogs. With webbed paws, the Madra can churn up snow quickly, and with a hundred pounds of pure muscle jumping on a caribou or moose, they didn't stand a chance.
