Polar Retriever

A retriever is someone who retrieves things, notably a dog of any of several breeds that is employed specifically for recovering game and has a thick coat that is waterproof. The polar retriever is a rare wild dog in the Earth Responsibly universe because of this.

• Singular: retriever

• Plural: retrievers

Polar retrievers are a larger kind of feral dog that is not domesticated; their fur is similar to that of polar bears and ranges in color from white to yellow. Their forelimbs are larger than those of their nearest relatives, as are their hind legs. The nose was rounded and black in color. The tail is similar to huskies, and it is completely coated with snow. Polar dogs' eyes are occasionally brown in females but bright blue in males.

2025 Appearance

Polar retriever's new form had the same appearance as a mixed polar bear with a Siberian husky, an Australian cattle dog, and a Carolina pariah dog due to smooth and mysterious whitish-yellow fur, much like that of polar bears; webbed feet; sharp black claws; jet-black-colored skin if not on fur; a black nose; pointed ears with fluffier fur, like earplugs, to prevent hazards of blizzards and snowstorms; and blue eyes.

The polar retriever possessed a dense double-layered coat and a high coating of body fat. The polar retriever has endurance and may travel up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) each day in quest of prey, unlike genuine retrievers and wolves. Polar retrievers use hunting skills because they work well in packs and can take down large animals such as musk oxen and caribou.

Polar retrievers can swim—they are powerful swimmers who frequently cross freezing rivers or channels during hunts and migrations. Their dense fur provides buoyancy and insulation in chilly water. These retrievers possess keen senses, including a highly developed sense of smell, hearing, and night vision.

Polar dogs were stronger than domesticated dogs and wolves, which are both close relatives. New research on Berbania and in Jejirique, Reinachos, about this wild dog: a wild retriever-like wolf will constantly growl and have a fearsome appearance, howl, and spit a whitish cold saliva that chills and freezes the target. Polar Retrievers can spit with cold saliva or ice breath much like the dry ice evaporation reaction; many individuals can breathe mist from some wedding events or dance groups.

An alpha male or domesticated one will secrete a reactive fluid through its skin, which solidifies into an ice-like material, forming an "armor" over its skin to prevent damage. It is capable of encasing itself in an icy armor similar to that of Glacial Agnaktor and Zamtrios.

The polar retriever is actually a hyper carnivorous species of dog; then it preys on seals, otters, penguins, auks, cormorants, ducks, swans, macaques, termites, woodlice, spiders, feral cats and dogs, oysters, mussels, clams, goats, and porpoises. They help prevent overgrazing and sustain the health of Arctic vegetation.

Polar retrievers are good swimmers and protect their fur for blizzards and snowstorms. Those fangs are not even for hunting their prey, only for eating the ice and being scavengers. It can live either as a nomad or in a pack led by an alpha male like a wolf or dingo, depending on the subpopulations and anti-predatory adaptation against native extraterrestrials of Berbania. Both Snowmaw and Derinokral are perfectly camouflaged against the snow. The same ecological niche as polar bears and dingoes altogether in the cold regions. Like dogs and wolves alone, both socialize in solidarity and in groups called "poachers of polar dogs." Only led by an alpha male.

Polar Retrievers are naturally spurred to fight for their lives with increased effectiveness, while the most experienced Canis will be designated “Alpha” and gain an even stronger enhancement for each individual. The species has an incredible affinity for teamwork or solitude. Wild retrievers become hostile when they are either attacked by a survivor or creature, if not killed in one hit, or when they see a creature they want to eat.

If you see a Polar Retriever on its own, be sure to scan the area for the rest of its pack unless you want to become their prey. They are neutral toward the player and hostile toward sheep, rabbits, foxes, chickens, penguins, sheathbills, skuas, quolls, rats, wolf pups, cats, leopard seals, crabeater seals, dolphins, ptarmigans, grouse, pheasants, parrots, egrets, turtles, and undead skeletons. They avoid llamas, vicunas, guanacos, dromedaries, and alpacas due to being spit at by this canid, like all species of Canis.

Reproduction

Mating Season:

• Late winter (February–April).

Gestation:

• Around 45 days.

Litter Size:

• 1–3 pups, smaller than gray wolf and dog litters due to scarce food.

Denning:

• Females give birth in dens dug into permafrost banks, rocky crevices, or caves.

Raising Pups:

• The entire pack helps feed and protect the pups, which emerge from the den at about 6 weeks old.

Polar retrievers are extremely gregarious; they live in packs of 5-10, commanded by an alpha pair. These retrievers communicate by howling, scent marking, and using body language. Due of a scarcity of prey, this species maintains a nomadic lifestyle, constantly roaming huge regions.

This species' temperament is naturally cautious and intelligent; it rarely becomes hostile without being provoked. In the wild, Polar retrievers are cautious but not aggressive. Because they live in isolated, uninhabited arctic regions, they rarely see humans and hence exhibit minimal fear or aggression. Polar retrievers can be curious when approached calmly, but they will flee if threatened. Captive or socialized individuals may form bonds with caregivers, but they remain instinctual and unpredictable.

The wild retriever's conservation status is "Endangered" even though it was brought to Earth and even its homeworld, Sawintir. The primary threats include reduced prey availability, particularly with warming tundra ecosystems; rabies; industrial activities such as mining and oil exploration, which fragment habitats; and climate change, which affects prey movement and habitat stability. Because of their remote location, conservation efforts require little hunting and protection under Canadian, Greenlandic, and Antarctic wildlife laws.

The polar retriever has been reported in the High Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, and parts of Alaska, as well as on rare occasions in Antarctica, making it the only canid that lives in the South Pole. However, the polar retriever was thought to be an introduced species in prehistoric times, having been carried from Sawintir's North Pole by the "Gods." This species' primary habitats were Arctic tundra, glaciers, and polar deserts, all located above the tree line. The canids require freezing temperatures, months of darkness in the winter, and permafrost soils with sparse flora to thrive.

The "Sky People," or Terrans from Earth, introduced the polar retriever to two Earth-like exoplanets: Berbania from Ursa Major and Reinachos from Cygnus between the 2600s and 2700s, during The Recollections of Queen Arianna (TROQA) saga. Despite the fact that the planet is practically dead, this species is being saved from extinction due to conservation efforts. This species arose as a result of human interactions for rewilding and game hunting, but they backfired when the retriever became an invasive species, attacking or consuming introduced-descending species and alien life. The retriever lived in the same environment and climate as Earth on two Earth-like exoplanets.

Polar dogs were extremely faithful to their bones, but only to huge bones, unlike modern wolverines. Only adults and newborns will feed on large or medium-sized animal bones, not extraterrestrials or monsters. Only an alpha male will trust them to drop your meat as a result of their kind. In most countries, owning a wild retriever as a pet is prohibited or strictly controlled.

Prehistory

Indigenous Arctic Peoples often revered the wolf or the wild "retriever" as a spirit guide or symbol of balance and cooperation in nature, and it appears in literature, mythology, and fantasy (e.g., representing purity, strength, or loneliness).

Worldcraft: Crown of Drepesedio - 3010s AD

Arleigh gives instructions to Nienne and Lloyd via Leonardo's phone for their tamed pengulls. In order to divert polar dogs and snow-flutters, Gharrak, Idhassa, Wivapsa, Jholina, Sisyall, Finok, Adarha, Zona, Bhallas, Dierog, and Colonel Lopes, as well as some glow-wolves and snowmaws, come.

Aila confronts Arleigh and Leonardo about their Oligocene artifact, but she is dazed after being bitten by a snow-flutter. Fortunately, Arleigh and Leonardo quickly leave with their militia animals, including snow-flutters and polar dogs, before the Ice Crown Keeper is destroyed and Aila attempts to escape by grappling with her.
