Doberman Canid
The Doberman Canids are one of the most respected races within the Canid (Galaxa) species. Known for their agility, speed, and controlled aggression, Doberman Canids embody the perfect balance of strength and compassion. Though capable of immense physical power, they are equally defined by their intelligence, patience, and loyalty, making them invaluable members of galactic society.
Traits and Behavior
Doberman Canids are famously agile and fast, often outmaneuvering larger or slower adversaries with ease. While their aggression is rarely expressed through physical violence, they are known for their sharp tongues and stern demeanor in confrontations. However, if pushed into combat, they are relentless and fearless, refusing to back down from any challenge.
As protectors, Doberman Canids are highly sought after by Galaxa's noble families. Their natural patience and docile nature with children make them ideal bodyguards for noble heirs of all species. Once bonded with their charge, a Doberman Canid becomes a fierce and devoted guardian, willing to risk their life to ensure the safety of their ward. This combination of gentle caregiving and ferocious protectiveness cements their reputation as one of the most versatile and dependable Canid races.
Combat and Role
In battle, Doberman Canids shine as frontline troopers, blitzers, and berserkers, using their speed and tactical acumen to overwhelm enemies. They are masters of melee combat, favoring weapons such as swords, knives, and polearms. Their swift movements and precise strikes make them formidable foes, feared across the warfronts of Galaxa. Many Doberman Canids undergo rigorous training in advanced martial arts, honing their reflexes and learning to adapt to various combat scenarios.
Doberman Canids often serve in elite military units, where their agility and resilience allow them to perform tasks that demand both speed and strategy. Their battlefield tactics are renowned for blending calculated maneuvers with raw ferocity, giving them an edge over even the most advanced opponents.
Culture and Values
Despite their martial prowess, Doberman Canids find their greatest joy in the quiet moments spent with family—whether blood relatives or adopted bonds. Their culture emphasizes loyalty above all else, and many Doberman Canids consider their pack, both literal and figurative, to be sacred. This devotion extends beyond family; friends and comrades are often treated with the same unwavering loyalty and care.
As members of the Canid species, Doberman Canids share the communal values of their kin. Pack dynamics are integral to their social structures, with elders often regarded as the guiding force within their communities. Rituals, such as the *Pledge of the Guardian*, symbolize their commitment to protect and serve their loved ones.

Their short, sleek fur is commonly black with rust or chocolate markings, though variations exist depending on genetic lineage. Their piercing eyes, which can be Amber, Gold, Hazel, or Icy Blue, add to their striking visage.
