Description: about the size of a typical steer, it's shoulder height relatively less then it's hind, males weight can range anywhere from 500-650, while females range from 400-550. Large bull-like creature with the shape of a bulls head, long horns, and wild red/gold eyes. A short and stout mane bristling up along its neck, a dark shade of orange. Tiger striping going down it's body for camouflage purposes, with cat like reflexes. the rear of a large dog with a bushy wire-like tail and large retractable talons on its feet. It's coloring is almost a burnt orange with a brown undercoat giving it the ability to blend into a natural forest background. It's shoulders are broad and muscular, it's movements are stiff but catlike making it an effective hunter. These creatures bred relatively slow and only travel in packs of 2-4 Usually led by a male which is larger then the females. The females are relatively smaller and more stealthier then their larger counterparts. Their mouths are full of teeth, Their back teeth are more blunt with small sharp edges on the teeth, their four main teeth are short but pointed and sharp. Almost vampire or dog-like. Their call Is more like a short bark, they can mane low noises within their throat making it almost impossible to hear them with normal hearing. They live in dark cool places, hidden within the shadows. As nasty and scary as they can be, they are not mindless beasts they have some sort of intelligence. They do not attack without having a reason, they are usually controlled by a powerful master and if not, you usually have to provoke them in some sort of way (ex. Destroy their home, try to touch them, get near their young)
Origin: they are almost like hellhounds, perhaps inbreeding for centuries and out sourcing for whatever was necessary caused these creatures to mutate and become skillful stalkers. They have a tendency to play with their targets and make them paranoid, causing them to feel scared before they attack. They are outcaste from hell, roaming within the shadows of the earth before finding their way to Shaman, attracted by whatever magical force. Besides that much of their history unknown, its all just pure legend.
