About the poetis breed of eytis
(Lora Lupalagus Cunyicaratacus)
A noteworthy domesticated breed is a poe'tis. Bred specifically to hunt Caua, a micilium similar to truffles known for its natural source of caramel and high concentration of opium (a common defence mechanism making many animals docile which has backfired in the case of the Lorath), poe'tis have an excellent sense of smell. They are unfortunately known for their love of sleep, physical gratification and poor impulse control. Their laziness translates into fattier bodies. There is some controversy as to whether they were bred to hunt caua or for a higher fat concentration and lazier muscle use translating into better tasting meat, with poe in some circles kept as livestock. They are often more intelligent than their ey'tis counterparts an they also tend to self groom obsessively - in some cases fur along their backs, about their faces and tails curling into ringlets. Poe'tis also produce far more of the breeding pheremones ey'tis are known to respond to, perhaps explaining the proliferation of the breed amongst populations (creating mutts) despite their poor survival instincts.
It is generally considered poor luck among l'manel who aspect after an ey'tis to be struck down with pairing up with an ey'tis with an impure blood-line (eg: a quarter poe'tis) as many pathological traits risk translating very thoroughly (laziness, addiction, a certain smugness). Those afflicted tend to be paranoid of themselves, working too hard to compensate, coming in swinging bouts of mania verses laziness akin to bipolar disorder. Those who physically mature with the aspectation also tend to have thicker bodies in many cases – and even those who cheat chemically to reduce her bodyfat often left with “sizable proportions” popular with foreigners.
Oddly enough however, ey'tis cross-breeds to make good pets: The sometimes neurotic habits of ey'tis calmed enough for them to live comfortably indoors though rendering them useless as herding or working animals. As such, those with the aspectation are viewed as having a poor work ethic.
