Uluri

The Uluri are rarely seen, almost mythical. Some don't even believe they really exists, and are just stories to scare children or the simple minded.

What is known about them
The Uluri are an ape like creature. As adults, they range between 7 feet and 12 feet tall, with an average height of 9 feet. They are very fast and are able to outrun any human and lycan with ease. The Uluri is very strong and they will have no effort in pulling down trees and destroying cabins in the woods. They have a howl that can make you deaf if you are close enough, and it can be heard from miles away. It is an apex predator, even dragons could be threatened by the Uluri.

Very few have survived an attack from an Uluri. Large hunting parties are required to defeat a lone Uluri. A pack of Uluri would require the strength of an army to defeat.

It is rumored they have a gaze that will paralyze you. Some even say that if you look directly into their eyes you can die instantly from shock. This makes them very dangerous as they tend to look from a distance and even through windows from homes.

The Uluri are omnivores, and will eat anything they can find when they are hungry with the exception of other Uluri. Tales have been spun of Uluri kidnapping people to bring to their cave to eat them on a later date.

The Uluri are strong and quick. They can blend in easily with the terrain and are very hard to spot, even when they are this big. They don't use any weapons but they may throw some rocks and logs, although their aim is generally poor. Their hide will act as a form of armour and only the sharpest blades or arrows can pierce it. Spears and lances work best against an Uluri.

Unknown Knowledge
The Uluri is a bigfoot/Yeti like creature. They have non-aggressive tendencies and tend to avoid contact with non-Uluri whenever possible. They are solitary creatures, usually only gathering into groups when threatened or during child rearing. A group will usually consist of only a female and her young. The young will wander off to fend for themselves as they approach maturity.

Although the Uluri is a very powerful creature it is rarely seen. Uluri tend to live until approximately 60 years of age, and their fur will become gray/white when they grow older. The young mature at the age of 15, but will only stay with their mother until around the age of 10.

While they mostly communicate with howls and grunts, they are also known to use tree-knocking and rock-knocking. The faster the knocking, the higher the urgency of their message is. They are also know to whistle to friendly Uluri's.

Because of their size, the Uluri tend to require a large amount of food to sustain themselves. This keeps their population spread thin and competing for resources, and keeps their population in check. A normal Uluri will take up around 10 times the ground that a Lycan pack would use.

They mostly hunt deer and moose. They will also sometimes fish when they are easy to catch, such as when salmon are spawning. They will kill livestock if given the opportunity, and they really like chicken.

The Uluri will go in a sort of half-hibernation during the winter, especially in the colder northern climates.

Contrary to the stories, they do not eat people, and will actively avoid contact with humans or other sapient races. Usually they attempt to simply scare people away, as the Uluri are smart enough to know if they kill someone that will be a lot more humans coming.

If you want to pass to Uluri territory you can make an offering, but this doesn't always work. And they might come back and demand for more.
