## Species Aligned With Nordic & Steppe Folk Metal

- [Bactrian Camel](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/bactrian-camel/) (*Camelus bactrianus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Yat-Kha, "Karangailyg Kara Hovaa"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Resonant dombra lutes over a lurching, rolling rhythm, the sway of a camel's natural pacing gait, which moves both legs on one side of the body at the same time.
  - **Superpower**: Two humps that store fat, not water, and, like other camels, a body that can survive a 40 percent weight loss and then drink up to 32 gallons (145 liters) of water in one session.
- [Gray Wolf](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/gray-wolf/) (*Canis lupus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Myrkur, "Ulvinde"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Choir voices layered over folk drums, for a pack whose howl can carry up to 10 miles on Arctic tundra, keeping scattered wolves together and kick-starting a hunt.
  - **Superpower**: A sprint of up to 38 miles per hour (61 km/h) paired with a howl that can carry up to ten miles across Arctic tundra to rally the pack.
- [Saiga Antelope](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/saiga-antelope/) (*Saiga tatarica*)
  - **Musical Match**: The HU, "Yuve Yuve Yu"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Thunderous horsehead fiddle riffs and guttural throat-singing, for a rutting male who stretches his nasal vocal tract by about 20 percent to drop the formants of his roar.
  - **Superpower**: An oversized, inflatable nose that helps it breathe warm air in frosty winters and filter dust in summer.
- [Walrus](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/walrus/) (*Odobenus rosmarus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Wardruna, "Helvegen"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Resonant bone horns over hypnotic frame drums. A rutting male walrus sings underwater in the same two parts: rhythmic knocks, about one a second, punctuated by metallic bell-like sounds, in cycles that can run for hours.
  - **Superpower**: About 400 to 700 whiskers on a snout that a walrus moves through seafloor sediment to find food.
