In their natural habitat, a certain breed of hypocriti grazes amongst the tall purple grass. Unbeknownst to these juvenile specimens, they are surrounded by a walled enclosure where the guardians can view them and can interfere in their interactions, either to force them to interact further or to protect the members of the upper hierarchy. These meetings between the guardians and hypocriti are very short and quickly forgotten by the very short term memories of the wards.
The various groups of hypocriti are split into the groups as follows: dominant males and females, middle hierarchy males and females, the lower class group, and finally a few outcasts.
The first group, dominant males and females, are categorized by very specific behaviours. The males are known for advertising patchy amounts of pastel fur about their neck (the beginnings of a ruff) with pride as even a minimal amount of plumage may be enough to attract a particularly desperate female. Their rear flanks remain thin while they gain a very top heavy appearance from the many hours spent wrestling each other, again in the interest of attracting a short term partner as well as to suppress slight homosexual tendencies. The more dominant males seek to create a harem of sorts of the more attractive females as a sign of virility to the others. These males will always band together against females, either to subdue them in a brilliant chauvinistic display or to expel them from the group for being coquettish.
