General behavior: Social creatures they often can be found in small packs and even more rarely in small to medium sized prides. With a higher concentration of females than males and the way that their packs and prides work, it is also common to see singular males roaming the tundra. These males are either exiled to to failing in a challenge against their leader, or because the pack or pride deemed them too dangerous and abandoned them.
Prides(7+), not packs (2-6), are a rare sight near cities and towns. However they have been known to follow closely behind Arenzebite Caravans due to the near assurance of food in the form of leftovers and Bantha that get too far behind. Ironically, these larger groups of Cuyan are often more trusting of their Arenzebite neighbors than smaller, more suspicious packs. They act in a similar fashion to lions, though they have been known to be domesticated by local Valkyri or Zebites in rare cases due to proximity.
History: Originally evolved for life in a forest, after the Mandalorians threw its planet into an Ice Age they were one of the only species able to cope with the drastic change in temperature. Despite this their numbers did suffer, nearly driving them to extinction. Over millennia they evolved to better survive and hunt in the snowstorms that plagued the planet and became prized mounts to the proud Valkyri and the strong Exonards who unintentionally through breeding increased the population and brought the species back from the brink. Though having such a beast as a mount was incredibly rare.
