Subspecies
There is an extinct subspecies of Algernon, Alger nons nons, from which the modern Algernon, Alger nons sapiens, evolved. They were creatures both adept at combat and at socializing.

Based on their anatomy, the primitive Algernon was more social than aggressive. They could sing very well, pose very well, and dance moderatly. At combat, they would charge at their enemies, stunning them, and then attack with strikes or bites.
