Gglidden helped me consider adding two more varieties of
rock hounds into the event - orange and purple varieties. I think I've decided on powers, but I wanted to get a vote on the amount of them available.
I'm trying to decide whether they'd be rarer varieties (10 to 15), or if there should be just as many of them as the other kinds (25). The thought about them being rarer is that maybe they're the alpha wolves of the Sonoma Tribe, so they're much more efficient hunters than the ones that have been fought. But at the same time, I want there to be enough for people who want to fight them to get the opportunity. I'm afraid that if I set the numbers too low that they'll be swept up really quickly though.
Here's my decision on varieties:
Purple rock hounds are able to cloak themselves to their surroundings. While not impossible to see in this form, they are very difficult to fight against, often landing critical bites and wounds on their opponent while they cannot seem to find them. The invisibility requires deep concentration, so anything that startles them will reveal them.
Orange rock hounds have more potent infection that infects rapidly when they bite into their prey. It has a higher success rate of 'zombifying' or stunning those it fights, giving the perfect opportunity for it to rip out their throat or gut them open. In addition, they can 'spit' their infection from long range.
Decided - there will be 15 of each variety, but they are extremely difficult to fight so please take note of that if you decide to fight one. I expect to see them cause much deeper wounds
