Caneins are a race of dog-like humanoids known for their extreme sense of loyalty whether to liege, friend, or family. Although only marginally smaller than the average human, there is a great deal of physical variance among the individual caneins; some short and stocky, others lean, and variations in the coloration of their coats. However, all caneins share a similar facial structure similar to the various bulldog or boxer type dog breeds, having jowls and squat features. The honorable caneins follow knight-like codes and attitudes, often serving a patron. Most caneins speak Common or the predominate human language of the region; they have no true language of their own.
