Ranks & Descriptions
Tokahe (Alpha)
(1 male & 1 female per pack)
The Tokahe(s) are in charge of the whole pack. They regularly patrol the boarders, greeting newcomers and choose who to accept or reject. They assign the ranks of new members, and choose who to promote or demote. They must keep the whole pack running as a team, and those who choose to disobey the tokahe may be severely punished. Although the tokahes can be mates this is not always the case, and a tokahe can choose to mate with anyone at the rank of itopa or above.

Icinupa (Beta)
(1 male & 1 female per pack)
The second in command, icinupas are very powerful and do most of the things tokahes do. They may greet newcomers at the boarders, but only accept them if they have the tokahes permission. If the tokahes are busy or injured then the icinupas will normally step in and take over the running of the pack until the tokahes return.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Iyamni (Delta)
(1 of either gender per pack)
The iyamni is normally a peaceful, and trustworthy wolf. They will help to sort out arguments, and aid the tokahe in some decisions. May greet newcomers with tokahes permission.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Itopa (Gamma)
(1 of either gender per pack)
The itopa plays a very important role in the pack, patrolling the boarders and pack lands in search of intruders, or anything unusual. The itopa must be a strong wolf as they act as a pack protector, holding off intruders until the tokahe arrives and decides what should be done.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Zapta (Iota)
(2 of either gender per pack)
Zaptas act as pup-sitters. They are the role models for young pups. They will take care of them while the pack is hunting, or if the parents are too busy, and along with the parents help teach the pups to hunt, and about the rules and routines of the pack. They must be good-natured and well trusted by all pack members.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sakpe (Sigma)
(2 of either gender per pack)
The hunters of the pack, sakpes must be very skilled and experienced in hunting. They will lead hunts along with the tokahes, scout the territory for prey, and with the tokahes permission they may call together hunts. If the tokahe is busy the sakpes will take over all hunting duties.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sakowin (Rho)
(4 of either gender per pack)
The sakowin act as hunt aids to the sakpes and tokahes. On hunts they will help track and bring down prey, though rarely make the kill themselves.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sagloga (Upsilon)
(up to 5 per pack)
The saglogas are like helpers. They will do random jobs for higher ranking wolves, sometimes help the zaptas with pups, and can scout the land looking for prey.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Osike (Omega)
(1 of either gender per pack)
The osike don’t really have much of a role in pack life, and wolves generally get this rank if they have done something wrong and angered the tokahe. The osike is the lowest wolf in a pack and so have to show respect to everyone, but as they have very little to do a lot of time may be spent playing, and they are generally quite carefree.
