The Verd - Creatures - Dunhound

"Of all the hounds and dogs and beasts of the world, none are considered more loyal and more noble than the Dunhound.

Native firstly to the Dunyedlands, the Dunhound has slowly evolved over the centuries into the dependable companion it is today, and its like has spread to many corners of the Caden Empire. A Dunhound is an intelligent breed, and it is best describes to view its owner not as a master, but as a fellow friend and partner. In fact, Dunhounds bond with their owners for life, and are unable to accept any others, even should their original owner die. Very dependable as hunting hounds, and have even been used as warhounds, too.

Something extraordinary of the Dunhound are its iron-like pelt and features, which biologically mimic iron quite deceptively. In truth their iron hair is more like bone, though admittedly extremely durable bone. Some have considered the possiblity of making bullet-proof armour from their pelt, but the idea of purposely slaughtering a Dunhound is an unforgivable high offense in Dunfolk culture."
