Name Origin:
Laelaps was a Greek mythological dog who never failed to catch what she was hunting. In one version of Laelaps' origin, she was a gift from Zeus to Europa. The hound was passed down to King Minos. Procris's husband, Cephalus, decided to use the hound to hunt the Teumessian fox, a fox that could never be caught. This was a paradox: a dog who always caught his prey versus a fox that could never be caught. The chase went on until Zeus, perplexed by their contradictory fates, turned both to stone and cast them into the stars as the constellations Canis Major (Laelaps) and Canis Minor (the Teumessian fox).

About the Biwo Creature

The Biwo enjoys the colder climate of the southern part of Ark. They are creatures that are only active at night and sleep during the day. Packs of them are quite easy to spot at night because the Biwo's eyes glow bright blue.

In terms of temperament, Biwos are friendly to humans, although they do not regularly associate with them, nor do they like being treated as pets. They are noble and proud creatures that are strongest with their own kind. As honorable creatures, they frequently patrol the southern forests of Ark and put an end to the evil doings of dark creatures that lurk in the forests.

Legend tells that if you have a good and honest heart and are found in trouble in the forest, a Biwo will find you and come to your aid.
