Skaravojen

"I'm sorry... what did you say?!?", Black-Eyed Tom coughed while in the middle of his mug of ale.

"A leathery beast the size of a large dog... it's by her side all the time. And it knew I was there, from across the courtyard.", his lackey replied.

"Its true, boss. I've seen it too. Big, brown, six legs, snout like a dragon but teeth and eyes like a dog" Sulin answered.

"And this thing knew you were there from fouty paces?.... Crap... Looks like we'll need a different way to take out the Keeper of the Flame". Black-Eye Tom was beginning to regret taking the job of assassinating the leader of an entire church.

Specifically created to protect the Keeper of the Silver Flame, the Skaravojen is a unique creation from House Vadalis by blending the best attributes of a loyal dog with a territorial dragon. The Skaravojen stands about five feet at the should with four front legs and two back ones. It's snout is long and tapered, like a dragon, and it does have a pair of long, wicked horns. But the rest of the beast is covered in a coat of soft brown fur, ending in a long whip tail of some hunting hounds. It is unknown how long the beast will live, as there are no others of its kind with which to procreate, but initial estimates place it around three to four hundred years.
