===White Wretch (Grey Wretch)===

The White Wretch is a carnivorous terrestrial repto-mammal that makes its homes in the freezing wastes of Fortune's Arctic Circle

White Wretches are grizzly bear-sized solitary predators of the north, though they are also sometimes seen in pairs. Interestingly, White Wretches (like their ancestors) only seek breeding partners near the very end of their lives (somewhere along the last few months or so), and when they spawn, their death soon follows (similar in this respect to Earth's salmon population). Outside of this, White Wretches are highly territorial, duelling via their large horn and head plates. Though their thick shells will generally keep their heads safe, the horn can be quite fatal if the wretch chooses to target a different spot, and casualties are not uncommon among more aggressive wretches. Generally cannibalism is only practiced among the younger specimens, however.

The female lays up to a dozen or more football-sized eggs, burying them underneath the permanent layer of snow. When the young hatch, they are about the size of a chihuahua, and stick together for safety, catching small Snow Crabs and sometimes Snow Ticks, until they are old enough for larger game. Once they reach 60% of their adult size, the juvenile Wretches part, leading solitary lives, though by this point, there is rarely more than 5 of the original clutch left.

In the desolate Arctic, White Wretches are forced to feed upon Snow Crabs and occasionally lone Imperial Wolves.
