Name:	Valsharess (drowish: "queen")
Age:	Adult
Breed:	Clawtongue
Gender:	Female
Color:	Black
Birthplace	Edge of Shadows
Personality:	The meanest, nastiest clawtongue to ever set foot on Pern, which really isn't saying much since Val and her minions are the only clawtongues to set foot on this part of Pern at least. She's still pretty malevolent in her attitude, frowning upon and/or killing and eating the weak and attempting to conquer the strong.

Name:	Xar'zith (drowish: "ice")
Age:	Adult
Breed:	Clawtongue
Gender:	Male
Color:	Arctic
Birthplace	Edge of Shadows
Personality:	Even if Val' is the queen, Xar' is the brains of the pack. He's truer to the neutrality of clawtongues than his compatriots, he'd sooner run away from a fight to protect his own interests than stay and defend his friends. Val' keeps a wary eye on him, in case he decides to pull any funny stuff and abandon the pack.

Name:	Z'ress (drowish: "strength")
Age:	Adult
Breed:	Clawtongue
Gender:	Female
Color:	Blue
Birthplace	Edge of Shadows
Personality:	Z'ress is the brawn of the pack, she has no other ability. Her level of intelligence is somewhere between rock and small vertebrate. Maybe that's exaggerating a little, but she still definitely isn't the sharpest spoon in the drawer. All one has to do is set a task out for her - in small, simple words - what to do and she won't rest until said task is completed. You have to give her a gold star for effort and tenacity.
