* RebelliousSpirit: Junlocks are so free-spirited and strong willed that they can resist the brutal methods Tolpish use to break their slaves. Feerix was able to resist long enough that his master considers it better to just leave him to die of thirst than put up with him-at least, until he unloads him on the Wizard.

[[caption-width:321:Shogun has no need for personal space!]][[http://www.harkovast.com Harkovast]] is a traditionally drawn fantasy webcomic which has been hosted on DrunkDuck since the 16th October, 2008.
The races of Harkovast are embroiled in a bloody and bitter battle against The Nameless, a force made of literally {{faceless goons}} intent on destroying the rest of the world. While the races struggle to overcome deeply entrenched hatred of one another, a lone group set off in search of the Shogun, who may be the only hope they have.

Also, it's a {{Furry comic}}!
