Borophagine "Jackals" in GURPS
North America's Miocene saw the evolution of several jackal-sized borophagine dogs.
They tend to have powerful, crushing jaws.
While there is not a lot of available information on them, a few note son their specializations are given:
- Microtomarctus had a mass of around 6 to 7 kg. It lived in the early to middle Miocene.
- Euoplocyon had a mass of around 9 to 10 kg. It lived in the early to middle Miocene.
- Metatomarctus may have been a pack hunter (add Chummy to its template if so). It had a mass of around 11 kg. It lived throught the Miocene.
- Protomarctus had a mass of around 11 kg. It lived in the early Miocene.
- Tephrocyon had a mass of around 12 kg. It lived in the middle Miocene.
- Paracynarctus had a mass of around 8 to 9 kg. It lived from the early to mid Miocene.
- Paratomarctus had a mass of around 12 to 14 kg. It lived throughout the Miocene.
