Canis

The Canis are a race of dog-like humanoids that resemble the greyhound. They come from planets with a lower gravity than Earth's and tend to be long and willowy. The Canis that came to Earth resemble "dog boys" based on the greyhound, but are not. They are a separate race unto themselves. The Canis that came to Earth are of all varieties: both the white, the black, the brown, and the grey. On the Rifts Earth, they basically had to learn how to get along with each other.

The white Canis are the magicians, and they tend to be ley line walkers or mystics. Some are even shifters and techno-wizards. The Black Canis are seen serving in the police and military. Brown Canis have psionic abilities, and some even become Master Psionics. Away from the Coalition, the Canis are free to develop in the New West. Although they find the area to be inhospitable in the summer, the Canis are happy with their human neighbors. There has been instances of mixed species couples, although these are rare.

The colony in the New West (Tooele) is from the three Galaxies, the Anvil Galaxy in particular. Their technology is comparable to 1999.
