Nyra explains, standing up to walk a bit in front of him and show herself off as an example.

"As for other weaknesses, take into account how each opponent is built. For example me, and your dad, and most likely, eventually, yourself. We are large, powerful and muscular. Therefore we aren't going to be as fast as wolves built like Aerin, or Arlette." She adds, smiling down at him.

"One of the tricks is to use your every advantage, and to outsmart your opponents. There may come a time you face opponents as much of a powerhouse as me and your father. Brute strength will get you many places, but it will not always lend you victory. Wits is just as useful as brawn." Her tail swayed with excitement. He would be quite the devil in his adult years, and she vowed she'd stay alive at least long enough to watch him grow into the demon he would inevitably become.
