Wajas
A virtual pet site which revolves around breeding and collecting the wolf-like "Wajas." These are essentially ordinary dog breeds with various cosmetic alterations, such as those found in the quote above. Several special, fictional breeds also exist. Breeds include; Normal, Egyptian, Corsie, Fire, Tempest, Plushie, African, Water, Earth, Divine and Bane. Fur colour changes can be achieved via 'dyes' which can be purchased for in-game currency or real money. Breeds and dyes apparently retail for anything from USD$18 to USD$60.
