Not very common at all. Biological hardwiring and social structure make it extremely uncommon for an Avali in a normal social environment to not form bonds. The ones that don't bond would have some form of neurological disorder or psychological trauma, have lost their pack at a relatively late age or are raised in an environment with few other Avali.
Even then those individuals wouldn't have particularly productive lives in all probability because an individual Avali isn't particulary "quick" witted (Slower metabolism than humans means slower mental processes. Not stupid, but slower to react and process information. Hence the pack structure and audio processing is important as it is like having a multi-core processor. With multiple minds processing parts of the solution). Avali packs are more than just "packs" like wolves, or prides of lions. But form something of a single unit.
hmm. thought as much. what sort of jobs/professions could a single Avali have? one without a pack, for one reason or another, i mean.
