<p>Domichen is a member of the tyrannosaurid family where their Asian ancestors survived the KT extinction event, migrated across Europe and Africa 34 million years ago. Their slender build allows them to reach speed up to 20 MPH, but while not as fast or strong as many other predatory mammals and incapaple of hunting large prey, Domichens are specially adapted to hunt terrestrial primates, such as baboons, chimps, gorillas and even humans. They hunt in packs, but unlike other pack hunting animals capable of taking down large prey, Domichens are mesocarnivores where they mostly feed on small and mid-size prey, mainly primates, and only rely on herding where they use variety of tactics that allows to disorient or isolate their prey, allowing the individuals to pick them off one at a time for food or to give prey to the queen and her offspring. Their snouts are long and narrow with thin serrated teeth where the Domichens go for the prey's throat where they're unable to cry out for other members, and never let go until their prey is dead. They live in thick dense forests where they hide from predators where their mature dominant female nurtures her young while her subordinates keep guard and patrol the area for any intruder they come across. Much like the spotted hyena, Domichens live in a compex social hierarchy where the dominant female is in charge of the slightly smaller and slender subordinates where immature females possess the same anatomy as males to establish dominance until when the matriarch dies, the strongest female would take over where they grew their sizes, molts her crests and deflate their throat sacs. Males of the family, when they become fully grown, they move from their past generation where they seek to find a new colony to mate and become subordinates. Domichens are nocturnal hunters where they spend in forests sleeping during the daytime, and during night time, the hungry clans patrol the plains where they seek for any primate they can find. Domichens possess high intelligence as they can adapt quickly to succeed in their hunt when prey becomes more significant, and when their territory is compromize, the hierarchs would move to another suitable habitat, and even migrate across different continents where they find their unusual prey in this area too. It's no wonder in this universe, humans are unable to overpopulate and overhunt megafauna all over the globe where they become from hunter gatherers to agricultural civilizations where they build fortresses and perimeters to defend themselves, forcing them to become scavengers than predators, and throughout different cultures, they painted them as extremely cunning demons that can't be exterminated and stalk in the night picking off even the most skilled hunters one by one, or serve as cautionary tales of attempt on dominance over nature. In ancient cultures, they were refer to as "Angels of Death".</p> <p>Note: This is the first creature article in Alternate Holocene, and Domichens are not the only creatures added here as I will feature more. Pardon the erased area, it was originally a paleoart of an Acheroraptor I drew when I was a teen before I erase it as I realize it wasn't worth it.</p> <p>Edit: I edit the size to make the animal specifically adapted to hunt primates.</p>
