 Listen to the Sawtooth Pack Howl
Welcome to the Sawtooth Pack: Wolves of the Nez Perce, who originally coniststed of 8 wolves. They were raised from pups, in captivity by the Dutcher family. Because of this, they have lost their fear of humans. For the wolves own protection, they can never be released into the wild. Rather, it is hoped that these wolves will be ambassadors for their wild kin; an educational heritage that will help dispel the savage stereotype of the wolf held by generations of humans.
Though most of the "Elder Eight" original wolves have passed on, their offspring and other adopted wolves keep the pack alive and are now in the care of an organization called WERC. It stands for Wolf Education and Research Center who are dedicated to providing public education and scientific research concerning the gray wolf and its habitat in the Northern Rocky Mountains. The Center provides the public with the rare opportunity to observe and learn more about the wolf in its natural habitat. It is their goal to be an inclusive organization that offers factual and balanced information. They seek to enhance public awareness of threatened species in the region and to develop in concert with residents ways to coexist with these species.
"The Elder Eight" will never be forgotten. Even though they aren't physically here with us, they will continued to be felt in spirit through the WERC staff and those who suffered the loss of one of the wolves close to them.
There will always be a hole in our hearts where they all once stood...

3. Whatever Kaoru, Fantome, and Akegura say, goes.
4. PM Fantome or Akegura with joining forms
5. Post questions in thread please! There is no such thing as a stupid question, PMing Kaoru or the other leader-owners isn't really needed.
6. Limit grammar mistakes/typos please
7. More will be added when needed.
Sawtooth Pack Rules:
1. This pack is a custom made pack by Kaoru. There will NOT be any other wolves outside the Sawooth wolves allowed in this pack.
2. Wolves of the pack may breed with other wolves, but only wolves from the Sawooth Pack! The pups will become part of this pack once they are born.
3. Like in real life and in the Sawtooth pack itself, challenges for Alpha often take place. If okayed by Fantome and Akegura, your wolf may attack/challenge an Alpha for the title.
4. No one in this pack is allowed to leave to start their own or go off!
5. You do not have to role play accordingly to what is happening in real life. Most of the wolves in this pack are currently deceased; so any twists or plots you may have for these guys is completely up to the owners and such.
6. The Alpha's have the right to challenge anyone they see as a threat.
7. There will be no killing of wolves, however, fights are acceptable and scars are too!
8. Elders/Leaders shall be respected, and give Respect
Role Playing
1. When roleplaying your wolf, one-liners are discouraged, but not entirely banned. Everyone has writer's block, right? ^^
2. Proper Role play is in third person, NOT first person or astericks
3. Kamots and Chemuhk are your Alpha's, your wolf must listen to him and her. It is how Packs work in The Scampers and in real life.
4. Fighting is not discouraged at all nor limited, as long as no one is killed in the process.
5. Color coding your wolf when role playing them is nice. For example: Say you have a blue wolf, when they talk have your font blue (most of you already do this or know what I am talking about so yeah)
6. More will be added when needed.
Out of Character (OOC)
1. When posting OOC posts in (()) brackets please! This is very important. It is rude to walk in and start talking during role playing. It confuses you and the other people and makes things disorganized.
2. Do not fight in the thread OOC, the less drama the better. If you are disagreeing with someone over personal things, take it to PMs. If it has to do with the pack, come to Kaoru or one of the alpha owners and we can work it out with you and the other person(s)
3. Limit OOC
4. If you are talking OOC, try and stay on topic. All other discussion can be saved for the The Scampers's thread or PM's or whatever else. Thank you.
5. More will be added when needed  What is New? January 5, 2007: Sawtooth Pack is created and worked on!

 Below are actual pictures and biographies of the real Sawtooth Pack. I will also be posting updates on the pack so you guys know how they are doing and if you choose to role play accordingly to the current happenings. Unfortunatly, only four of the wolves are left; only one being an "Elder Eight." Even so, it is up to you and besides, its nice to see how they are doing anyway ^-^. Alrighty then, here you go!
Below are short biographies and notices on the orginal member of the Sawtooth Pack. I explained how they died, why, and where they stand currently. These biographies can be similar to what your wolf's profile will be, but doesn't have to be exact. Pictures of the wolves are posted below as well.
Original EightKamots  Kamots "To go free": As alpha, or leader of the Nez Perce Pack, Kamots is largely responsible for determining the harmony and mood of the rest of the pack. He is the first to eat, to discipline another pack member, or to greet a newcomer. He is not only the largest wolf in the pack, but his personality is also that of a leader with an intelligent, sociable and kind manner. He is playful, generous, and gentle with the other wolves, but aslo ready to assume the role of disciplinarian with a deep growl and flashing teeth if necessary. usually the first to lead a howl, and the rest of the pack will gather around, bodies low and tails wagging to join him. Kamots is usually the first to lead a howl, and the rest of the pack will gather around, bodies low and tails wagging to join him.
June 2,000: on June 19, 2000 the body of Kamots, the former alpha-male of the Sawtooth pack:Wolves of the Nez Perce, was discovered within the twenty-acre enclosure in Winchester, Idaho. The long-time leader of the pack was removed from his alpha position in February by the other males in the pack. His death was quick and unexpected as he exhibited steady, good health when last seen by the pack caretakers prior to his death. Although the specifics of the cause of death are currently unclear, WERC (in conjunction with other wolf biologists and the pack veterinarian) is investigating all possible scenarios. At this time, it appears pack aggression may have been involved. Kamots was nine years old.Lakota  Lakota "Peaceful Person": is a large, gray wolf and brother of Kamots. His yellow-green eyes are haunting and speak of the wildness that is in wolves. He has a shy, wary temperament and is often alone, exploring the territory on his own. He is usually the first wolf to alert the pack to a stranger's approach with a bark howl. Although he is primarily a lone wolf and the omega, or lowest ranking male, he is playful and very intelligent. He has a strong friendship with Matsi that allows him to romp and run with another wolf without fear of overstepping his role. Lakota is known by his tradmark howl which is distinctive and piercing. He did, however, overcome his rank as omega and moved up to a middle ranking male, getting along great with the others.
May 2002: Suddenly on the night of May 9, Lakota passed away. He had just turned 11 years old the week prior. It is believed the pack found Lakota at the same time WERC did. The pack members showed avoidance of the death scene and exhibited unusually low energy with atypical howls. Lakota’s body was removed immediately from the enclosure due to the unknown cause of death. However, traumatic death caused by the pack was immediately dismissed due to the lack of external injuries. Later that day he was transported to Washington State University’s, Washington Animal Disease Detection Laboratory for a necropsy to prove the cause of his death. The initial examination did not show any reason for death, so histopathological samples were taken from his organs for microscopic analysis. A few weeks later, after extensive searching, the results of the histopathological analysis were inconclusive. Lakota’s body exhibited typical signs of old age: liver compromise, joint and muscle degradation, and lung congestion. His body was slowly shutting down as he was approaching the natural end of his life. To complicate matters for Lakota, his avoidance of food resulted in low body fat reserves that were undetectable due to Lakota’s avoidance of humans. Unfortunately, modern science can not determine exactly why Lakota passed away, but his long, not always easy life as a long-term omega, most likely was a major contributor.Matsi  Mastsi "Sweet and brave": has maintained the role of beta, or second ranked in the pack for several years. Matsi is a year younger then Lakota and has madea kindship with him. Together they have buildt a non-threating relationship. He is the lightest colored male in the pack and has distinctive, pale golden face and coat. The lack of gray facial mask that is common for wolves, and the shine from his yeloow eyes, form his light face. Matsi has been a primary caretaker for pup (babysitter) in the pack and it is not uncommon to see Matsi taking special care of a subordinate wolf. He gets along good with the rest of his pack and play his role as beta male very well. He is the brother of Amani and Motomo.
November 2003: on the morning of November 13, Matsi behaved normally and at the end of the routine visit was peacefully falling asleep in one of his favorite spots of the enclosure. By early afternoon, his body lay motionless as his spirit passed on away from this Earth. He never struggled during his passing; rather he laid in peace, looking up at the sky. Amani appeared as shocked as we who found him. Subsequent behavior from Amani showed that he probably did not detect Matsi’s death coming. If Matsi knew, then until the very end he remained sweet (for protecting his friends from bearing the inevitable) and certainly very brave. Matsi’s body was transported to Washington State University’s Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory the next day to complete a necropsy. Due to the suddenness and mystery behind his death, it was imperative to conclude that Amani was not in danger from a potential transmittable disease. The results from the exam concluded that Matsi died from a significant hemorrhage of his liver. Although we will never know exactly what caused the rupture, we do know that poison and any contagious disease were not present. It is believed that a past blood clot in his liver may have spontaneously dislodged, causing the fragile, dead portion of the liver to rupture. Matsi subsequently succumbed to internal bleeding. It is believed that it was a fast, and probably painless event. Matsi’s body will be laid to rest beside his previously fallen companions. Now, Amani and all at WERC are healing from the loss of our good friend.Amani  Amani "To speak the truth": is a high ranking male and brother of Matsi. He has markings similar to Kamots, with a deep gray goat, although his ears are most often flat out, giving him a sweet, comical countenance. He is friendly and always egar to eat. Running through the tall grass of the meadow, Amani can be seen stopping to roll on his back or to see if a bone has anything interesting left to chew on. He has been very attentive with the pups, always in vuew to watch on them and bring them food. He is playful with the higher ranking wolves and strict with the more subordinate members of the pack.
November 2005: It is with deep sadness that we have to inform you that on Monday, November 7, our dear friend, Amani, passed away due to complications from an inoperable terminal illness. After extensive tests and numerous consultations with the Pack Veterinarian and the Resident Veterinarian at Washington State University, there was no humane choice left except to put Amani to rest. Amani was 13 1/2 years old and was one of the original members of the Sawtooth Pack/Wolves of the Nez Perce - The Elder Eight. He will always be remembered for his independence and his whimsical expressions with his ears laid out flat - lovingly nicknamed "Airplane Ears" by all of us that lived and worked with him. His name means "To Speak The Truth" in Blackfoot language. Amani will always be remembered and loved by the thousands of people he touched with his wonderful Spirit.Motomo  Motomo "He who goes first": is brother to Amani and Matsi and a large, black wolf. His deep yellow eyes are startlingly beautiful against the black fur on his face. He holds a mid-ranked position in the pack and is comfortable interacting with all the other wolves. The white flag on his chest is easily seen to communicate submission when he rolls over on his his back under the domination of a higher ranking wolf. Often these bouts of discipline end with Motomo's tail wagging, leading the other wolves in play. He is playful and curious, egar to interact and play games of chase. He's also often alone, far from the other wolves as he hunts squirrels or explores the pack's territory.
January 2006: Motomo is still alive and healthy, the last one alive from the orignal eight. He guided the pack through the relatively fast and mellow breeding season with ease. Now entering his third year as alpha-male, Motomo probably has the easiest job of any alpha-male in the Sawtooth Pack’s history. He only has one subordinate to dominate over, and Piyip consistently submits quickly. Still, Motomo keeps a watchful eye over Piyip and usually emits a growl as soon as Piyip approaches the limits of his rank. Motomo has stabilized the graying process of his fur coat that has been progressing for the past several years. Now, he has settled into a salt-n-pepper coloration. Through the breeding season, Motomo was quick to defend his mate, Ayet, even against Motoki when she approached the pair. Motomo has always shown low tolerance for Motoki’s behaviors but now is consistently fast to snap in her direction when she competes for attention from the human handlers or when food is present. Even though he approaches 13 years old, Motomo remains healthy, powerful, and in complete control of the pack.Chemuhk  Chemuhk "Black": is the alpha female, a petite black wolf with gray fur on her face and legs. She is three years younger then Kamots, with whom she has bred to produce pups. Her friendly but rather shy personality shows in how she carried her head and how her ears are postured. Although she is shy, she is also dominant and usually found in the thick of any pack conflict. Her long face appears more slender with her ears back and greenish eyes closed in a timid greeting. She is agile and quick and has incredible vertical leaps in pursuit of a chipmunck or squirrel in a branch over her head.
Escape: after over 4 years in operation, WERC experienced its first wolf escape. The wolf that escaped is Chemukh, the omega-female of 'The Sawtooth Pack; Wolves of the Nez Perce'. The enclosure is double - fenced the entire circumference, except an approximate 30-foot section where the pack is usually fed from. Chemukh climbed the fence at this single fence area. This area has extra precautionary measures installed to prevent climbing of the fence, including an electrified fence and a three-wire overhang that extends one foot over the inner side of the fence. These measures failed to stop her. Currently, It is believed that Chemuhk remains in the area around Winchester, Idaho and the WERC. The Nez Perce tribe has kindly offered the use of trappers which are being used in the tribe's ongoing wild wolf studies. These people are experts in their field, and have a long history in successfully catching and releasing wolves in the wild. Chemukh will probably not endanger any domestic or wild animal, as she has no hunting skills and furthermore will probably be too scared to use the skills she has. However, if an animal matching her description approaches your animals, Chemukh can be easily scared away by yelling at her or throwing an object at her. Again, she will not become aggressive to humans! Shooting a rifle in her direction to scare her or kill her will result in severe panic or the injury/death of an innocent, scared animal who is simply lost or attempting to return home. Please contact WERC immediately upon sighting.Wahots  Wahotts "Howls a lot": Wahots is a large, lanky gray wolf. His large yellow eyes are dark rimmed and slanted in his beautiful face leaving the impression of uncharted depth. He has a wary personality, staying at the edge of the pack's activity, watching the focus of attention, but rarely getting involved. His long legs and slender body make his large head appear even more impressive. He has been extremely attentive to the new pups and can be counted on to come between a pup and anything he perceives as a possible threat. He is the wolf pups come to for play. He exhibits unlimited patience with the pups as they chew on his tail, ears and feet, practicing their adult skills.
January 2004: on Sunday, January 25, Wahots suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. There was no previous indication of illness, injury, or any other health compromise. He was last seen the morning prior, behaving normally. Wahots was found during a routine inspection of the enclosure, lying in an area where he was known to rest alone. The area where he was found showed no signs of struggle and it was immediately clear that the pack did not cause his death due to dominance displays. No injuries (besides his normal rump wound) were found on his body. As sad as it may be to lose two beloved members of the pack within two months time, both deaths are independent from one another. Such natural, age-related deaths can be expected as the wolves grow older. Yet this is little comfort for WERC supporters and WERC wolf handlers who now grieve the loss of two dear friends this winter. Both Matsi and Wahots will be missed greatly by us all.Wyakin  Wyakin "Spirit Guide": she is the omega female of the Sawtooth Pack, otherwise known as the lowest rank or lone wolf. Kaoru: I could not get any further information about her lifestyle or the way she acted because her description was not on the adoption sheet I received back in 2000, she had already passed away at this time. I have looked inside and out of the WERC website to find some more information about her and will continue to do so. As of now I only have information about her passing. I appologize to anyone whoreally needed the description, if anyone does have anything about her please let me know. Thank you ^-^
October 1999: in mid-October of 1999, Wyakin, whose name means 'spirit-guide' passed away. She was the omega wolf of the Sawtooth Pack. She had gotten sick only a few days before. In the hopes of making sure that we understand what happened, a necropsy (like an autopsy on humans) was done. Medical science tells us that Wyakin passed away from natural causes. These things happen, yes. In the wild and in captivity, animals pass on. Both we and the pack will mourn for our lost sister, and then we will move on. Wyakin's death makes the importance of the mission of the WERC and the responsibility that we feel towards the Sawtooth Pack sharper, more clearly defined in our minds. We mourn her passing, yet our Wyakin will continue to guide us in spirit. The WERC plans to establish an award and scholarship in her name.********************************
The Current Members Ayett  Ayett "Girl": remains quite the contrast to Motomo in her leadership skills. Her dominance over Motoki is consistent, frequent, and occasionally borderline over-bearing. Ayet commonly follows Motoki about the enclosure and growls whenever Motoki turns toward her. She even leaps onto Motoki’s back sometimes in a surprise dominance display. This behavior is quite unusual among normal conditions, and is typically met with defensive rejection by Motoki. Unfortunately, this rejection by Motoki only fuels subsequent dominance displays from Ayet. This never-ending feud between the sisters creates regular dominance vocalizations that reverberate through camp every day and night. Eventually, these frequent severe dominance displays from Ayet may possibly lead to another attempt by Motoki to depose her sister. Only time will tell. Ayet is the only member of the pack that has not changed appearance in the past year. She remains the darkest color and most petite among the other members.Piyup  Piyup "Boy": on the other hand, has changed his appearance the most drastically in the past year. He remains the largest and strongest of the pack, but his once pure black coat has turned to a predominantly light gray or silver color over the years. Although graying of the fur is normal in wolves (and dogs) as they grow older, Piyip’s body has taken this process to the extreme with now more silver than black over his body. He has changed to the point that some past handlers have even had difficulty in recognizing him at first during recent visits. In contrast to his physical appearance, Piyip has not changed his behavior for several years now. He remains consistently submissive toward Motomo, generally ignores both of the females, and constantly strives for attention from interns and staff.Motoki  Motoki (correct spelling) "Shadow": has changed both her appearance and behavior slightly. Although no major alterations to either characteristic have occurred, Motoki has a new scar that slightly changes her appearance, and her occasional rebellion toward Ayet are new to Motoki this season. The rejection behaviors that Motoki has recently exhibited toward Ayet are likely caused by the non-stop intense dominance from Ayet. Motoki will now occasionally growl in return to Ayet’s dominance attempts, but then also runs from Ayet to escape the display. Motoki does not show any behaviors that are indicative of a challenge toward Ayet, rather just a rejection of Ayet’s persistent dominance. If Ayet decreased the frequency of her dominance toward Motoki (which is unlikely), the rebellion behaviors from Motoki would likely subside. However, if Ayet continues her course of intense domination, Motoki may eventually fight Ayet in an attempt to depose her alpha rank. Motoki’s rebellion behaviors may also be induced by the pseudo-breeding season, which occurs in October and November, and prepares the hierarchy for the upcoming breeding season by solidifying the rank order. If this hormonal influx is indeed the cause of such behaviors, then the rebellion may subside soon. If not, there may just be a battle for alpha-female this winter. Motoki has acquired a new, minor scar due to the increased physical dominance displays from Ayet. A small section of skin was injured under Motoki’s chin, which would be considered a normal infliction caused by a dominance interaction. However, the flap-avulsion healed in such a way to create a permanent notch in her chin. This new alteration to her appearance is quite seasonal, as it really resembles a witch’s wart at the tip of her chin.Motomo Motomo is explained above, one of the original 8 wolves and the only one still alive. He is doing well and continues to grow and stay healthy. ******************************** *Note: This information was taken from my website and WERC's website. Respect their copyrights and please do not abuse or steal this information. I also appologize for the spelling of each wolf's name in the picture, the spelling in the ext is correct seeing it came from WERC. Those pictures are not mine, I found them.  Here is where I will be posting updates of the Sawtooth Pack in real life and what is going on with their world currently. Unfortunatly, my WERC membership has run out and I haven't gotten the chance to re-new it, so the updates I get won't be full fledged. Mostly one update per season, so bare with me! XD. Here you go.Sawtooth Pack Updates Summer of 2006: As the temperature has begun to climb on the thermometer the Sawtooth Pack has moved into a typical summer mode of behavior. For the most part, the pack confines its period of movement between late evening and early morning hours. Temperature swings on the Camas Prairie can be as much as forty degrees between sundown and sunrise and it is during these drops in temperature that the pack will be most active. During the heat of the day Motoki, Motomo, Piyip and Ayet seek the cool shade of the towering Ponderosas or an occasional trip to the pond located in the rear of the enclosure. Recently, the staff completed an annual ritual and installed the “portable pond” in the enclosure. The “pond” is a large water trough set in the enclosure to ensure that the wolves will always have water during what baseball fans recognize as “the dog day afternoons” of August. Actually, the pack tends to wade in the pond more than drink from it, often entering during the peak heat of the day and stretching so their bellies dip into the cool, refreshing water.
Once again the summer months have brought a lull in activity from the pack as they anxiously await the cooler temperatures of the late fall on the Camas Prairie. So until that time, when the internal clock of wolves everywhere awaken the energy that coincides with the change in season, we say good-bye from Winchester and thank you for your support.

 Normally, through third person role play, your wolf must approach the Alpha male or female and get approval to stay and live within the pack. Once that is done, you have to PM the following form to Kaoru (seeing I manage the thread now ._. hehe). However, your wolf is already accepted into the Sawtooth Pack, but I still need the biograhpy so I can add it to the profile page! Please do not forget!The Profile Form Copy and Paste the form Below into a PM and send it to Kaoru-san305 with Sawtooth Pack or something as the title:[color= Your Wolf's Font color here]

[b]Image:[/b] Link to wolf's certed image[/color] Ranking List Alpha Male Alpha Male: Kamots
Role: To lead and protect the pack. This is the most important rank in a wolf pack. The Alpha male must form the hunts, prepare for battle, and lead his members through harsh times, following his instincts. He eats first, marks his territory, and will attack anyone who poses a threat to him or his pack. He has one mate, and mates with her for life (Make sure your Alpha Male gets along with his mate and make sure you and the female's owner want to breed together for the rest of their lives). All other members of the pack must do what he asks at all times. Failure to listen can result in exile. Alpha Female Alpha Female: Chemuhk
Role: To lead and protect the pack. If the Alpha male is gone, killed, or can't lead at times, she will be the one to take over. She gives birth to pups that will take high positions and protects the pack and other pups as well. She eats first, marks her territory, and will also attack any wolf who poses a threat to her, pups, or her pack. She too, must be listened to at all times. Beta Beta (2): Matsi
Role: There are two Betas, male and female. They are second in command and usually have some relation to the Alpha Male or Female. They help to partrol the territory and alert the Alpha's when danger is near. They are also peace keepers of the pack, and will always try to break up a pack fight with a little words of wisdom. Beta's are good with pups and are usually a happy, well rounded wolf. They sometimes stay away from the pack to be on their own, but they still love to interact. They eat second when the Alpha tells them they can. There will be two Betas, male and female in your wolf pack. Guardians Guardians (4): Amani,
Role: The wolves who are essentially the protectors of the pack. They are the third in command wolves, can be any gender, but tend to be male. They keep an eye our for intruders and are often around the pups or main den to protect the rest of the pack. There can be 4 Guardians in your wolf pack and can be any gender, usually males. Warriors Warriors (4): Piyup
Role: These wolves are strong, tough, fierce, and always ready for a fight. They do have their kind and sensitive side within the pack borders, but if someone intrudes, or they hear a Guardians call, they move right to the task with the permission on the Alpha. They will help and fight along the Alpha Male and Female, risking their lives for them and trying their best to defend the pack. There can be 4 warriors in your wolf pack and are usually males, but females are allowed to take part in this role. Hunters Hunters (5):
Role: These wolves are the ones who mainly go out and hunt for the rest of the pack. They are quick and strong, and can take down animals three times the size of them. All wolves of the wolf pack however, are allowed to participate in the hunt, but when they don't its up to these wolves to provide them food. There can be up to 5 hunters in your pack and they can be any gender. Pup Sitter Pup Sitter: Ayet
Role: This wolf, usually female, will protect and babysit the pups while the Alpha's and the rest of the pack are away. They can start as early as a teenager and continue to babysit for the rest of their lives if that is what they wish. There is only one pup sitter and it is perferred that the role is played by a female wolf. Scouts Scouts (3):
Role: Scouts play the same role as the Guardian would, however they actually leave the pack territory at times and even spy on other packs that may be too close. These wolves are fast and very stealthy, able to gather information and report it back to the Alpha's. They won't ever attack the pack they watch, but keep a close eye on them if they feel something is up. Scouts are usually teenagers, but can stay scouts as an adult. There are up to three scouts allowed in your wolf pack and they can be any gender. Subordinates Subordinates (unlimited):
Role: These wolves have no rank at all. They are just simply members to help keep the pack going strong. They can however, help out with other roles such as warriors, hunters, etc. They tend to be happy and know the rules of the pack. The eat once the Alpha's, betas, and Guardians are done and are allowed to join or even start pack howls. They play with the pups and just really enjoy interactions with their Alphas. There can be as many of these wolves as you would like in your pack and they can be any gender. Pups Pups:
Role: In real life wolf pack, only the Alpha Male and Female are allowed to mate and have pups. However, to keep people happy anyone from any pack is allowed to mate with any other wolf, as long as it isn't the Alpha's they mate with. Royals, pups of the Alpha Male and Female, will always be tended to first to make sure they stay alive to keep the pack bloodline going. The other pups are allowed to do just as much as the royals and their little lives consists of playing, eating, and sleeping. Once they grow older, the first to chose a role are the royals, then the other pups. They are constantly under the watch of their mothers, and babysitter. There is no specific number of pups allowed in the pack and they can obviously be any gender. Omega Omega:
Role: This is the lowest ranking wolf in the pack. Though he/she is loved by all, this wolf sometimes gets neglected by the pack or is constantly dominated by the Alpha's or other high ranking members. This wolf can either be sweet, or nasty depending on how well he or she can take the abuse. The omega can be attacked and left with scars if he/she ever steps out of line. The best thing to do is always have his/her tail low and submit to the Alphas whenever possible. The Alpha or pack will not attack the omega for no given reason, only when he/she disobeys. The omega eats last and it is usually scraps it ha to survive on, if not then it will hunt for itself. They try there best to stay away from the pack when it comes to time to sleep, but will often enjoy friendly interactions or pack howls. The amount of neglect this wolf is shown to, also depends on the Alpha male. If he is a good leader and believes that none of his members should be left behind, the omega may be happy in his/her position, treated and fed well, and maybe even bumped up a rank over time. If the Alpha Male is dominant in every way, the omega may often be neglected and will always stay submissive. There is one omega allowed in the pack, it can be any gender.

 Here is where The Sawtooth Pack is located, if you look at the map below it will shop you small circles with letters in the middle scattered around the map. Those circles are where other Packs are located.
The Sawtooth Pack is the goldenrod and olive green circle with an S in the middle. It is located near the edge of the forest, next to the mountains. The forests consits of many trees and also wide open areas. The mountains and both lakes are not too far a running distance; only a few miles apart. I tried to locate the pack based on where it is in real life. Some pictures below will show you some images of the Sawtooth Pack in various areas.

Like in the wild, every animal has their friends and their enemies, even it is others of their own kind. Exspecially animals with territories, there can be some pretty nasty fights, its how they are. Below is a list of The Sawtooth Pack's Allies, enemies, and the Packs/wolves that we are just neutral with. Get to know and learn them so you don't get frightened when a friend comes, and you know what is going on when an enemy is in sight.
 Our Friends...They Will Be Welcomed Pack:....Alpha: Reason
1. None as of nowOur Neighbors...They will Be Watched Pack/Wolf....Alpha: Reason
1. None as of nowOur Foes...They will be Banished Pack....Alpha: Reason
1. None as of now, lets hope to keep it this way.
