>Note that loverboy's Weavile did NOT see him as an alphaI never said she did, just commented on her behavior. It is kind of what I expected from an barely tamed cat of the knifecat caliber- especially one where its owner clearly has strength as you state.
Your description delves well into what I see them as. Packs are large because there tend to be few in an area. The area of northern Sinnoh would hold at best, 13-14 packs but when each is at least a hundred strong, it makes sense.
This isn't counting those that live alone or in pairs, smaller packs that are singular families, and rogue packs of the common style of how sneasel and weavile are portrayed- a single violent weavile holding dominance over a violent group of sneasel for their own goals.
That being said, your description of sneasel is rather apt- pragmatic and violent but only within reason. Mostly this means on hunts, battling for the sake of either dominance or training, or mating. Otherwise, they're highly social and have their own close friends and such as we do. They have a thing for family and will defend their brothers and sisters (the actual ones as being in a pack muddles the idea of siblings), when given the chance.
The especially care for their kittens- get close and be shredded into a million pieces by 30-40 sneasel.
Packs working together is something I never thought about. Sounds like something they would do though- especially if accords are agreed to beforehand. Thanks for more for my doc.
I'm a mega-autist. All I put down was a summary of what I've written so far on them. Checking now nets me 6000+ words. All for the sake on how pokemon would exist IRL. Let's just say the U.N sponsored these with reason.>>34924513No since my cats tend to knead my sheets then lay down. Kneading is not a show of dominance. Scratching is. Kneading and bunting are signs of affection.
There's also the fact sneasel/weavile have retractable claws.
