Pup

A Pup is a wolf who is under the age of seven months. Pups are usually very mischievous and energetic and are known to bother deltas and omegas. However, they tend to be interested in the stories the deltas tell about what life was like back in their day. Most pups are eager to begin their omegaship before even reaching the age of seven months and very curious about what happens outside their camp.

Description
When a pup is born, their mother or father usually name them. Specifically for their fur color or after a deceased family member. Sometimes, though, pups have names that only have to do with the natural products on their territory, including animals, whether prey or enemies like foxes. Some pups are named for something significant that happened before or when they were born. When pups are not named because they die before their parents have a chance to name them, they are named by other Star-Clouds members. All pack wolves, especially their mother, are very protective of pups. They are fed first and are not expected to catch their own food or do chores. A pup cannot leave the Clan camp without being escorted by a delta; however, sometimes they get away and get in trouble.

Pups tend to have soft and fluffy fur. They are usually curious, mischievous, and playful, trying to get the pack Deltas to play with them. Most of them are too young to fully understand the pack traditions or the rules, but if they break a rule, they are not punished and sometimes very lightly scolded depending on the severity of their deed. Pups often tend to accidentally annoy deltas, but are fascinated by the stories the older wolves tell.

Education
While in the first few months of age, pups gradually learn about their packmates, pack ways, traditions, rivals, and about Star-Clouds or Stellarfur as they age.

Trivia
Although it has rarely happened in canon, pups have been made omegas quite late. This is often due to misbehavior, or as the result of an injury due to an accident or incident. At the same time, pups have also became omegas early or without warning. Typically, the latter is highly frowned upon as the pups can get hurt or killed during training if they are too young.
