Heck Jackals

Heck Jackals are a species of wild dogs that inhabit the desert and wilds around Madaffa.

Heck Jackals have dull slight psionic powers which they use to intimidate and confuse their prey.

Heck Jackals have the strongest jaw per pound of any living land mammal. They are group hunters, and occasionally scavengers.

The bile of a heck jackal is a common ingredient in many poulstices that aim to treat severe headaches or fevers.

Heck jackals are impossible to domesticate. Some reports of heck jackals kept in captivity claim that the dogs have influenced the weak minds of young children to enter the pit where the heck jackals are being held. The toddlers are devoured. These stories have not been verified by the Royal Courts, but it is generally considered a terrible idea to even be near heck jackals.

Heck jackals are most active at night. They travel in family groups as large as 30, and they let loose a distinctive howl when hunting.

Heck jackals feed on anything, but their favorite food seems to be a den of young rock hares.
