Alpha/Chieftain ( Interchangeable )
The Alpha/Chieftain is the leader of the pack, they try their best to keep up with the going ons within the pack. They see each of the tribe members as family and make important decisions that reflect the growth and welfare of the pack. The Alpha/Chieftain creates the rules for the pack/tribe and makes sure they are properly enforced.
Beta
The Beta is the second ranking individual within the hierarchy. They show commitment and loyalty to the pack/tribe, also acting as a discipliner to reinforce the Alpha's/Chieftain’s decisions. The Betas stand in as Alpha/Chieftain when the Alphas are not present.
Delta
The Delta is a being in training for Beta position. They are third in rank to Alpha and Beta. Delta's do not hold the authority to call medium or large hunts, cast wars or any other major decision. That is a privilege to only ranked Alphas/Chieftains, Betas. Deltas usually become the next Beta after training is complete but one can remain Delta without moving to Beta position. When this is the case, if ever the current Beta is removed from their rank, steps down, changes rank, or leaves the pack, the Delta may take the place as the new Beta at the Alpha's/Chieftains request
Sentinel
Sentinels are to ensure that the pack/tribe is safe by patrolling the territory and watching the movements of the surroundings. They are often the first to greet visitors to the lands, and are the first defense to invaders. They do not travel outside of the tribal land
Elder
An Elder is a being with great experience and knowledge of tribes. In the past they may have held such high ranks as Alpha and/or Beta. They are sometimes older members who have decided to make the pack their final resting place. An Elder's opinion is greatly respected throughout the pack, being advisor to both Alphas and Betas.
Hunters
The Hunters are those who are exceptionally skilled at tracking and hunting down prey. They operate under a hunt lead.
Scouts
Scouts are responsible for warning the Pack/Tribe of dangerous territory/tribes outside the pack lands, if any. Scouts are mainly wolves known by neighboring packs and visit around often. They stay in touch with other packs and keep friendly relations. They are to report any important changes to the Alpha and Beta.
Caretakers
These beasts take care of the young and elderly. They are at the bedsides of both the dyeing as well as birthing acting as a sort of mid-wife.

Shaman
