Name: Dark Hound
Designation: Semi-Sentient
Homeworld: Eclipstica
Language: It understands Galactic Basic, and can be taught to understand other languages. (Commands being meant here, though like any other dog, they can sense their owners emotions, and become affectionate, or playful depending on the owners moods)
Average height of adults: 1 meter
Skin color: Black
Hair color: Black, with red orange spots on it's forehead and belly.
Breathes: type 1
Strengths: Dark Hounds have horns, claws, and teeth that are super sharp, and it's very fast, hitting speeds of up 20 mph, they also have a dark side connection, allowing them to sense the dark side, and light side of the force. Their horns can pick up vibrations from afar, though they can not determine what the noise is coming from.
Weaknesses: These animals are very viscous to lightsiders, going as far as to kill them. Upon being attacked by a lightsided force power, they will either be killed by the power, or it will cause them to retreat in fear. They also have bad hearing.
They are small in population, as most of the puppies die during birth due to the heat
Weak ribs.
Distinctions: They have horns growing from their heads, as these horns used to be their ears. They hear through vibrations that enter through their horns, and go to their ear drums. This gives them poor hearing, but they can pick up vibrations from afar, what it comes from would be unknown to them till they get there. Their rips have become weaker but have grown extra bones that are on the outside of their rib cage, covered in keratin for some added protection. They hunt at night as it becomes terribly hot during the day, making them nocturnal hunters.
Average Lifespan: 40 years (Because of their connection to the darkside)
Races:
Estimated Population: 50,000 and counting
Diet: meat
Communication: barks, growls, and howls.
Culture: Traveling packs, these are wild dogs of Eclipstica, and known to cross the through a basin where the land is raised from the Scars, and Obidia, coming to each the livestock of the farms, and return home with their prey. Their own natural predators include the Battle Lizards, and Snakons (This is a submission for later). They have evolved from normal dogs to darksided creatures. When it comes to them meeting a person, they are normally always aggressive, except for those who are strong in the darkside, and can prove it to the animal.
Technology level: N/A
General behavior: As pack hunters they have a alpha male, and an omega male. They work well as a team, an take care of one another. At any point, the omega male can challenge the alpha for leadership over the pack to which they will fight with their horns, claws, and teeth. Resulting in one, or the other dying, and becoming food for the pack. They have litters of around 6 to 8 where only a small handful survive the heat, leaving the actual count to be around 3 to 5. The dead young are also used for food. Packs have territory, and fight other packs for turf. In order for one to come close to one of these things, either tranquilizers are needed, or someone with a strong darkside connection to still these beasts. They raise their young like typical dogs do, allowing them to play, and fight to learn the skills they need to survive. Typically there are ten to a back, four females and six males. The males do all the hunting while the females do all the care taking. The mothers are very loving, and caring, while the fathers are strict, going far as to rough up the puppies to get them to toughen up.
History: Dark Hounds were not always of the darkside, as they were just normal dogs of (As the Scars were not always a desert waist.) but as the last king that ran rampant, killing his people, and eventually leading to a bloody war to where these animals lived, it's been thousands, and thousands of years of living in a darksided place as the king left it when he was done. They have evolved, and are only now being seen for what they have turned into.
With horns growing from their heads now, and their rips growing from inside out of their body, these are a creatures are more intelligent now, and more ferocious compared to what they used to be. Dark Hounds are now, much like the Tuk'ata, and are seen as pure evil creatures by the citizens. To own one is to prove one's strength, and powess.
