| Found primarialy on Lamu, these canids are currently the only known species on Sinai with the ability to change shape -- reverting from biped to quadruped forms and back again at will. In their native land they have a hunter-gatherer society and have learned to adapt even the simplest of things around them to their own needs. Physically they stand between four and five feet (in biped form) and might be mistaken for a Heyoke at first glance. They are digitigrade and their biped form still looks greatly 'animal like'. Unlike the Heyoke they have very short fur and a thin whiplike tail. They are often called 'stripe dogs' or 'tiger dogs' because one of their most distinguishing features are the stripes crisscrossing their rumps. Their fur color ranges from very light brown to yellowish cream while their stripes are hazel brown to black. Lacinus are rarely seen outside of Lamu, but there have been enough wandering types noticed here and there to make seeing one a novelty, but not a great shock.
