Physiology
Appearance
The average Wolven male is about 1,90 meters tall, average weight is 100 kg. The body is covered with a longhaired fur, thickness varying from region to region on the body parts, with thinner hairgrowth on the facial part. Their heads usually seem a bit tiny compared to the rather bulk shoulders. The form of the head can be compared to that of an earthly Wolve, with some obvious differences: The neck is longer, and the eyes are quite big. Also, there are only few Wolven people who posess real fangteeth, and those who do are more considered ill-breed than anything else. The broad shoulders and heavy chest melt into a considerably thin and slender "stomach- back- part", the standing Wolven always has an arched back. The arms are thin and slender, with long hands, five fingers and one thumb, these often show excessive nail- growth. Very muscular legs end in feet, which are paws grown flat and big, to be able to stabilise the huge body. Wolven posess no tail, thus the use for the leg muscles and bigger feet, this enables them to walk upright.
Variability Among Individuals and Genders
Males make 80 % of the average Wolven population. Females, a rare sight in a Wolven society, pose an almost unbearable attraction to the Wolven male, not necessarily from their physical composure but from their eyes, which are bigger than those of the male Wolven, and often are coloured in more than one tone.
Locomotion & Manipulation
They are used to walk on solid surfaces, few Wolven can swim or climb without technological help, because their arms need to be specially trained to become muscular enough for such tasks.
Body Chemistry
Chemical and Environmental Hazards
An average Wolven can endure a temperature span from - 20 *C to 20 *C without any side effects because of their effectually bodyheating fur. That differs individually, and colder temperatures might be endured with additional clothing protection. If a Wolven body gets too warm for more than half an hour, the Wolven suffers from nausea, heart problems and quickly dies. Fire is another problem, obvious for a fur- coated people. The immune system is almost resistant to known illnesses, but reacts quite slowly on new viruses, which makes it very dangerous for an unprepared Wolven to enter another environment.
Senses
Wolven see, hear and taste. The most important sense, though, is smelling, which is a very developed sense and a Wolven who smells strong odours he is not used to will need a lot of time to adjust to that sensation. The body as a whole is not very sensitive, but the touch sense of the fingers is also very keen, most Wolven posess a high skill of mechanical manipulation.
