Status:

5035: Mute

Name: Muteki
Nicknames: Mute, Matriarch
Species: Cryolophosaurus

Home: Isla Kela Forest
Territory: She claimed a section of the north-east forest on the island. She also circles adjacent meadows and explores urban areas, but has no significant influence in these parts.

Physical Build:
She has a rather lean but athletic build. A healthy female cryo all around.
She is slightly larger than average, but lacks the bulk to compete with cryos her size.
Her physical strength comes from her speed and acrobatic skills, such as jumping and grappling.

Personality:
Don't get deceived by her name. This dog barks and bites.
A bully with a short temper, she made it a sport to bully weaker creatures and command those around she finds use in. As confrontational and ill-willed as she is, she tends to meet strangers with claw and tooth first, and isn’t someone to be swayed with words alone. Yet, despite being so quick to anger, Mute is someone who prefers to provoke and threaten, but let others do the hard work. She doesn't mind getting her own claws dirty to prove a point though.

History:
She grew up overshadowing the rest of her clutch in ambition. Strong enough to survive from a young age but never bulky enough to dominate on brute force alone. Early fights taught her that speed and audacity could compensate for what she lacked in sheer mass, and she clung to that lesson with a growing hunger to dominate. Her habit of manipulating others began young. She learned quickly that loud and violent leave strong impressions. Commanding smaller, quicker dinos obeying her with fear and respect made her hunts easier and her reputation sharper, which she gladly exploited. Growing her influence in the forest came naturally after.

Reputation:
Within her territory she’s recognized as a volatile leader by fear, consistency, and the relentlessness of her presence. Others skirt the edges of her land unless called or cornered, and the smaller predators she enlists often act as messengers, scouts, or distractions to smooth her daily routines. Her underlings being ruled by a harsh regime instead of community has her earn the title of Matriarch.

Relationships:
Mute has conflict with Sergeant, the leader of a pack in the Dead City close to the forest edge. They often get into territorial disputes and short but intense fights. As much as she hates his guts, he's also the only one with the strength to gain her respect. She tolerates him at best, as her usual threats don't seem effective on him.
Raze has been one of her victims and has gotten bullied relentlessly by her as they grew up for being the runt of the clutch.

She is known to utilise raptors and generally smaller dinos as her henchmen and likes to command others around that might be of use to her. She sees them merely as replaceable tools.
Herbivores are seen as food and nothing else. She has no interest in interacting further with such than that.
