While the Common Awes are the most populous Awes and come in many tones, patterns and sizes.
There exists some variants of Awes that deserve a separate mention and reference of their own.


MountainAwes
Deep in the harshest mountains of Homepeaks, ancestral Awes with white fur still live with the traditions and lifestyles of old. Slightly nomadic, they forage the land and travel in tribes between set ancestral homesteads depending on availability and renewal of available food.
They are sizable and larger then common Awes, standing often a whole head taller. But most of their size come from their thick woolly white coats which protect them from the hard climates.
Reclusive and isolationist, they to keep to themselves, remaining apart from the general Awe population and nation.
Their people and territories are respectfully avoided by Awe society who generally revere their elders and ancestors. They are seen as representing something old, primal and for some mythical; They are, in ways, a living history of Awedom.


RavenEyes
On the peninsula dubbed RavenIsle to the north-east of the continent lives Awes who have black fur and yellow eyes, which gave them their names. The far east have long twilight nights which permits Raveneyes to hide well and their unusual dark coats are further proof for many of how Awes in genetic isolation diverge into unique tones or patterns.
Raveneyes originate from refugees from the fall of the “First-Age” who survived by hiding on the inhospitable peninsula from 'Raptorian Horde' of the time. This makes them the Awes that are closest related to the First-Age Awes.
Through political pressure they connected themselves, reluctantly, back to general Awe society as a whole fairly recently and are now considered a region of Aweland.
Raveneyes are generally considered quiet, timid and cautious.
They are of smaller build then common Awes and their smaller stature make many of them good fliers. Males of their variant are often seen filling these roles in Awe society.


Matrons:
Females undergo a transformation when they reach menopause around the age of 70-80, becoming what they call 'Matrons', the grannies of Awes. They go through an intense period of a growth-spurt, increasing mostly in mass and 'robustness' over height, how much depends on availability of sustenance.
Its not uncommon for Awes who wish to limit their change to go through months of fasting during this period. This is a hard process and usually at the expense of their future constitution.

Despite this added size and strength and beside if they fast or not, Matrons are in most cases no longer suited for active lifestyles. They loose a lot of their reflexes and speed; Their bodies are also slower to heal from injuries.
In return, their pouches develop in size and capacity. Those who embrace their change and feed well gain the ability to nurture and heal their younger kin as Pouch-Matrons this way.
Matrons are leaders, administrators, teachers and caretakers of young in Awe society. Their wisdom and seniority is traditionally always deferred to by others Awes and they take this responsibility seriously.
