Strays is a joint webcomic project by Samantha Whitten and Stacey Pefferkorn, who both share responsibilities in writing and drawing the comic. Meela is a young, orphaned lupian (a race of people with wolf-like features) who is struggling to survive on her own. A chance encounter on less than pleasant terms teams her up with Feral, another lupian who happens to be a mute as well as one of the best mercenaries in the land, and who is not quite so welcoming of her forced company as she would like to believe.Starts here
Klingon Promotion: Played with. Korin takes leadership of Yuen's clan by killing the former leader, he had tried a number of times before, but didn't win until he had outside help.
Little Bit Beastly: Varying degrees, dependent on... species? Meela and Feral both have tails, for example, compared to Piper's ears-and-tail.
Our Werewolves Are Different: They can change at will with a flash of light, are gigantic, and keep distinguishing features such as eye color and scars.
Overly-Long Name: That's Prince Holland Perdicus Lathalinethetul to you!
The Runaway: Holland was at some point in his childhood, and Yuen was unfortunately driven to this.
Scars Are Forever: Feral has many scars, most visibly over his right eye; the rest, including the severe scarring on his throat, are usually covered by his clothes.
Schizo Tech / Anachronism Stew: It may seem to be around The Middle Ages, but the clothing styles and materials are fairly modern(ish), plus the existence of firearms and varying degrees of magic.
Shapeshifting: All of the 'animal' races seem capable of changing between two forms with some practice or being taught. So far, we've seen Feral as a wolf, Piper as a fox, and Holland as a swan.
Visrial's panther form is also shown, along with Meela's wolf form after she learned how to do it.
Tomato Surprise: Despite what Meela has assumed by dreaming herself as Yuen, Yuen actually looks a lot more like a certain bounty hunter than he does like her.
Traumatic Haircut: Meela's brother inflicted one on her in the backstory.
Trickster: Piper. Holland shows some traces of it too... he certainly knows more than he lets on, and isn't afraid to bend the truth or lie a little sometimes.
Unsound Effect: Several, usually involving Feral, along with hand gestures.
Would Hurt a Child: Visrial. Then quickly averted seeing how the next page he's about to hack her head off. Piper so far is the only one who seemingly wouldn't hurt a child, which is shocking to say the least.
