OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: to create a Sithspawn unit for Adrienne to use in combat
- Image Credit: Demodog by Soufiane Idrassi
- Role: General Combat
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: Devourer | Dart Flower
- Unit Name: Devodog
- Affiliation: Adrienne Keres
- Classification: Sithspawn
- Description: An alchemized hybrid of the powerful body of a Devourer, with the head of a Poison Dart Flower. This creature walks on all fours, much like a canine -- hence its name. The petals of the Dart Flower that make up the creature's head are spiked on the inside, the petals unfurl wide to devour prey or shoot poison darts. The Devodog adores fresh kills.
- Unit Size: Small
- Unit Availability: Uncommon
- Unit Experience: Trained
- Equipment: None
- Combat Function: Generally, the Devodog would be used to overwhelm lone targets as their strength is in numbers or provide Adrienne with protection or a distraction in order to carry out rituals or her own attacks.
- Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): N/A
- Poison Darts: The Devodog retained the ability of the Dart Flower to shoot poisonous darts. The darts cause sharp, stinging pain where hit and can cause symptoms of illness (nausea, vomiting, fever) especially if left untreated. However, they are not lethal unless hit with a large number of darts that are not treated.
- Hungry: Their taste for live prey makes them especially vicious
- Kill it with fire: Their heads are very weak to flames, kills them almost instantly
- Kill it with other things, too: Vulnerable to most weapons, but light-sabers work best
While the Devourer was a perfectly fine battle companion, Adrienne wanted something a bit more... gruesome. So, she set about creating her own Sithspawn combo -- the strong body of a Devourer and the head that would bloom into a Dart Flower. It wasn't perfect; the creature was still quite vulnerable to flames and sabers. However, a pack of Devodogs would prove to be a difficult opponent for a lone enemy. Adrienne raises each new pack and trains them to respond to her verbal or telepathic commands. As she raises them on fresh kills, the Devodog does have a taste for live prey and will happily make a meal of anyone in their way.
