→Gland-hounds
The Gland-hounds of the New Men have jostling rivalries and pack social structures where the strongest and most capable rise to prominence. They often brawl and test their strength amongst each other. Pack leaders are inevitably challenged and usurped once they're strength, skills, or knowledge has little more to offer the pack.{{Fn|3d}} A single Gland-hound pack can range from less than a dozen to over a hundred.{{Fn|3f}}
Alongside their enhanced musculature, they have thickened dermis that allows for tolerance of cold to such an extent that they can even survive brief exposure to the void.{{Fn|3a}} Of their many biological quirks, some Gland-hounds are even able to piss a strong form of acid.{{Fn|4b}} Even some degree of [[Aeldari]] genetics is used in some of their creation, resulting in enhanced speed and agility.{{Fn|2d}}
The twins [[Mayasha]] and [[Mayshana]] were the first Gland-hounds to inherit the first generation's enhanced musculature, without the need of augmentation after birth.{{Fn|3a}}
