What is a Baerough Hound?
A Baerough Hound (pronounced Bay-Row Hound), or Baehund (pronounced Bay-Who-End), is a genetically mutated canine species. They are very large, ranging from 4 - 6ft tall and about 150 - 200lbs. They are built to be very agile creatures, and while they cannot fly like most winged animals they do have the ability to glide for long distances. Much like bats, Baehunds use echolocation to find their way around. They have no eyes, but rather a thin membrane covering a sensory hole in their skulls that allows them to sense heat and cold, a trait they probably retained from snakes. Just like snakes they also have two fang-like canines and a forked tongue, the rest of their mouth being fairly bare and hollow to aid in swallowing large prey. Their thin elongated toes and thick whip-like tail allow them to be strong climbers, and grant them an amazing ability to balance, as if they could defy gravity itself.
Whats their history?
Baerough hounds were first discovered in Jurassic times, where they roamed the earth as small and vulnerable dinosaurs. Over time, they survived the extinction of their cousins and slowly grew larger and stronger. Humans had lived alongside them, and once a few started capturing and taming these creatures, they became popular working pets. Around the Victorian era these creatures suddenly died off, and were announced extinct. It wasn't until now that a small pack isolated on a previously uncharted island was discovered, and now they are being bred in captivity to increase their numbers.
What are they like?
Baehunds are very spunky pups with an affinity for decor. They enjoy being dressed in gems and jewelry, and will never turn their nose up to a good accessory. Many of them prefer piercings and tattoos over clothing or styled fur, but they enjoy the attention nevertheless. This is especially helpful in shows and competitions!
Can you ride them?
Technically, yes! Their large size and immense strength means they were the perfect mounts for our ancestors, and even now its quite the ride to hop on the back of one. However due to their very independent and proud nature, a Baehund really has to trust and care for it owner before it will let them try such a thing, or else it may send you flying face first into the ground.
Where do they live?
Baehunds are very adaptable creatures, and can be found just about wherever large sections of trees are found. They require large territory, but can otherwise be comfortable in any environment.
What do they eat?
As omnivores, baehunds have developed a taste for a large variety of food. Though the most common prey tends to be rodents, they also seem to enjoy sweet fruits and berries.
What do they sound like?
Baehunds have a very interesting range of vocalization. The base of their noise seems to be canine based, mostly low rough barks and high pitched yips, though they do have an unusual hyena-like laughter that they only emit towards humans. They also use a collection of clicks and chirps, though it is rare to see fully domestic adults use that forum of communication.
What is the pack system?
Baehunds are a patriarchal creature, meaning the usually follow the males of the group as leaders. Because it is so common for same sex pairs to appear in the species, its not too strange to find packs that fully exclude females. In instances where heterosexual pairs lead the pack, other females in the group will usually be cast off as loners.
How do they breed?
All Baehunds have the capability to bare young. While they have a set of distinctly male and female body parts, the young are actually produced through an intertwining of the tails.This action can be carried out by same sex or hetero pairs.
