Dogman (SciiFii)

A dogman (Bipedocanis deinodonta), also known as the true werewolf and the greater werewolf, is a species of ape-like humanoid canine that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps, forests, and open woodlands across mainland Eurasia and North America to help boost biodiversity. The specimen was created shortly after the creation of the real werewolf (Homo lycanthropes), because of the moderate backlash from media who preferred the more wolf-like versions of the mythical werewolf depictions. The closest living relatives of the dogman includes the golden jackal, the coyote, and the gray wolf. Unlike most canids, the dogman is a bipedal animal that stands, walks, and runs entirely on its back legs, due to genetic engineering and since it has Australopithecus genes implemented by the scientists during this species' creation to allow a bipedal locomotion. The dogman is a very large animal that can grow to be about 7 feet tall and weigh between 300-450 pounds on average. The dogman is a carnivorous mammal that primarily feeds on carrion, eggs, small-to-medium-sized animals, and some man-made waste. The dogman is a solitary hunter throughout most of its entire life except during the breeding seasons. The vocalizations of the dogman consists of the many growls, snarls, roars, and howls almost identical to those from a fictional werewolf from the American Werewolf in London, likely due to the scientists who created the dogman were fans of that horror movie. The dogman does not transform from humans, not even during the full moon, unlike in myths or pop culture, as the dogman is part of the completely different order and family of mammals from humans, so this animal is always an upright-walking canine even during the day. Like many other canines, the dogman is both diurnal and nocturnal, being active during the day and night, similarly to gray wolves. The conservation status of the dogman is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the dogman's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
