Alphas
These are the two canines in charge of the pack. They make the orders and all others must submit and listen to them.
There is always one male and one female, usually mates, but not required.
Betas:
The Betas are the second in command. They are involved in secret conversations with the Alpha's and are in charge when they are away. They can make some orders, but this is usually done by the Alphas.
There is always one male and one female, usually mates, but not required.
Deltas:
The Deltas are those training to be Beta and then Alpha. They are often pups of the Alpha pair or a very respected female wolf in the pack. These canines usually go off with the Alphas and Betas to learn their ways and how they are to act in certain situations.
Always one female and one male, can be mates, but not required.
Healer:
This canine is very well educated on herbs and how to cure sickness and heal injuries. They are well known and bonded within the pack, along with highly respected.
Can be either male or female.
Healers Apprentice:
A canine who shows potential in being the next healer. They shadow the current healer and learn everything they can. They will take over when the current healer retires or dies.
Can be either male or female.
Warriors:
The well built canines who are strong and very good with fighting techniques. They protect the pack.
Both females and males.
Hunters:
These canines are usual smaller than the warriors, but more agile and fast. They are educated in hunting techniques and are able to lead a whole patrol in a hunt. They provide meals for the pack.
Both females and males.
Convoys:
These canines are much similar to hunters, but are much faster and have greater endurance strengths. They check the borders constantly and either bring canines that want to join back to the Alpha or break off into groups to fetch the warriors to chase off invading canines/rival packs.
Both females and males.
Spies:
These canines are to keep an eye on the other packs plans. This means sneaking around inside their territory and getting a peek at where the main camp is, plans for the pack, ect. If there are no other packs to watch, the spies can either take on convoy, hunter, or warrior duties until they are needed.
Both females and males.
Guardian:
The Guardian is basically a pup watcher and trainer. Once pups do not need to nurse anymore, the Guardian takes them into their care so the mother can get back to her duties. As they grow, the Guardian will teach them basic hunting and fighting techniques. If their are no pups in the pack, the Guardian will take on the rank of convoy, hunter, or warrior.
Usually female, but can be a male.
Apprentices:
Apprentices are canines who are under the age of 2, that will team up with a hunter, convoy, spy, or warrior to learn how the rank works before they turn three. Once they turn three, they will be given the full rank of whatever they have been training for.
Both males and females.
Pups:
Canines under the age of one year.
Both males and females.
Omega:
These canines are the weakest members of the pack. They are usualy kicked around by the other canines and used as a way to relive stress. This makes these wolves very playful and friendly, even though they are the lowest of the low.
