DesertClan
[drawn by Amyatzu (#91975)]

{ The Territory }
"DesertClan lives in the desert with little to no food. They have lived in this landscape for 6 generation and don't plan on leaving. They are swift, lean and very clever even when some foods are faster than they are. The clan has been through hard times, many members dying do to lack food. Do to the shortage of food, sometimes warriors go beyond the territory and into Twoleg territories. Some say they are being weak, taking the fish from Twoleg ponds, but it's survival. Don't turn your nose to are ways because they are different."
