Rock Hound RP/Event Blog here
I came up with an idea for a new creature during my drive up here to visit my brother and sister-in-law. I wrote down the notes, intending to tell you guys about them later, but since I'm wide awake tonight here they are.
These new creatures are called "Rock Hounds" (which is a term often associated with geologists). The ideas I had for them are the following:
- They are created by my infectious stoat, Iugulare, as scouts and hunters. She has ordered them to seek out Quad and incapacitate him (or even kill him if they are able).
- They are the reanimated skeletons of a lost species of wolf that lived before the Endless Forest. They were wiped out in a mass extinction (haven't decided on this yet), so they are quite bitter toward living creatures. Their bodies are entirely bone and infection aside from a special crystal Iugulare has created that animates them.
- There are four types of crystals, each with it's own color, that gives each Rock Hound a special attribute. The attribute can be determined by the color of the glow within their eyes. The colors and ablities are:
Red - Enhanced strength (Red Rock Hounds can often overpower even the toughest of deer)
Blue - Stronger defenses/more endurance (Blue Rock Hounds can take much damage without wearing down)
Green - Regeneration (Green Rock Hounds can heal their bones quickly)
Yellow - Enhanced speed and reflexes (Yellow Rock Hounds are extremely swift and agile)
- The crystals are made of either quartz or diamond so it is difficult to break them. Removing the crystal lodged in the Rock Hound's skull will 'defeat' them (the bodies fall apart and will no longer move on their own) though the spirit/essence of the Rock Hound remains in the crystal.
