Physical

A large, muscular, and thin-furred hound with a powerful bite force and great speed. The Mist-Hound is a carnivorous canine with its overall structure and shape somewhat resembling that of an Irish wolfhound. Its long legs and slender shape allow the beast to charge and chase its enemies quickly, leaving only a glimpse of its shadow. The beast stands at 5 ft in height and 7 ft in length. Its fur does contain some variety, going from a pale gray to a dark black.
 

The leg muscles are well built, lean, sturdy, and strong. They lead toward its paws, which contain powerful claws, where, unlike most canines, this beast has the ability to retract them. Gaining the ability to run lightly and quietly on the forest floor or the hard, tough stone ground in human settlements. Its long and slender tail gives the hound balance during its fast runs; it flicks through the air to help it leap and turn during sprints and charges. The beast's overall muscular build is greatly built, its thin fur showing powerful muscles that the hound flexes to intimidate its prey. The uniqueness of this canine is not just its size. It is also its ability to open its maw and create an unusual mist, along with a great eyesight in the dark. Its pawprints are quite unique, being longer than most canine feet, along with the lack of claws.


 

Habitat

The Mist-Hound can be found on all sides of the continent. They grow used to their habitat and resist harsh cold and harsh heat. They prefer to reside under dark shelters, being quite nocturnal animals most of the time, unless needed due to hunger. The beasts, like foxes, may live both in nature and among humans, hiding and resting from the cold sewers of the north to the southern sand dunes. As long as there is a great amount of food and water, you will spot one of these hounds.
 

 

Behavior

The Mist-Hound is quite an intelligent creature, though a lonesome one. This beast hunts alone; it would be quite rare to see it with a pack. It hunts mostly for sport. It drags its dead or nearly dead prey to areas where it can play and/or feast on it. Never, bringing it to where it rests its head. The beast enjoys competition, going mostly for the strongest prey, unless it's bored and hungry. Though it would leave if the fight would be clearly one sided.

 

The beast prefers stealth over brute strength, playing tricks during its hunts. Attempting to make it as entertaining as it can, leaping from shadows, mist, or buildings and roaring loud growls to frighten its prey. It uses the advantage of its speed due to its strength being like that of a Kha.
 

Abilities

  • The Mist-Hound is able to create a cold mist emerging from its maw. It becomes thick quite quickly and blocks its prey's vision. 

  • It contains long powerful claws that are able to retract, to have a softer and quieter, sprint and walk.

  • The Mist-Hound can leap up to five blocks wide and two blocks high, due to its powerful legs.

  • Has quite spectacular vision in the dark, like that of a domestic cat. 

  • Excellent climbers due to their long paws and claws, aswell as their lean muscular build.



 

REDLINES

  • The mist-hound can be played by non/ET and ET.

  • The cold mist cannot be collected in any sort of way.

  • The cold mist does no damage; it is merely a drop in temperature.

  • The mist will cause loss of vision, and the user in the mist will only be able to see one block in front of them.
    (The size of the mist is up to the player though it cannot pass 15 blocks in radius)

  • This beast cannot be tamed, ridden, or used in any sort of combat.

  • The hide of this beast is merely a regular hide, like that of a direwolf.

  • The beast's claws are as strong as ferrum.

  • The beast's eyes cannot be collected for the use of being able to see in the dark.

OOC PURPOSE

 

There are not a lot of player event characters that could work as folklore or as ‘legends’ irp. And that's why I have decided to make the mist-hound. I was inspired by an episode of Sherlock Holmes, the one with the ‘great hound’. I also like when roleplay is quite dark, even if it is edgy. It gives a nice, realistic feeling. Like you aren't safe anywhere, and that's why this creature is meant to be more of a stealthy, mist out of nowhere alleyway killer.
