What on earth is a lava dog???
Glad you asked! A lava dog is a canine animal that consists of fur, lava, and an unknown material that keeps their lava from spilling! On the outside, they have soft, warm fur. On the inside, they have lava! Yes, hot, gooey, lava. Don't worry about burns though, they have a material over the lava that absorbs heat and keeps the lava from spilling out of them. The material is very strong and only an extremely powerful force can cause cracks or even break it.

FAST FACTS
● Their eyes, lava, tongue, and paw pads are all the same color
● Shield over it so owners can touch them without being burnt
● Can have different kinds of ears and tails
● PPS is possible
● They don't need food, the lava powers them so they don't really need to sleep either
● Shield can be broken (but only with a really powerful force)
● Lava = blood and life energy basically
● If they lose too much lava they will die
● If they eat something bad, the lava will not burn as bright and they will be sleepy and sick
● The lava can't be replaced because each lava dog has a different and unique lava
● They glow and radiate warmth
● They can see really good at night
● Lava dogs are very social

STRIKES AND BANS

If you do not follow the rules, you can get banned from lava dogs! Here I keep track of who has strikes and who is banned.

You do not always automatically receive a strike when you break a rule. It depends on the severity and how many times you have broken the rule!

No one yet! Let's keep it this way.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Lifespans
Lava dogs can live forever. As long as they don't lose their lava, they are immortal. However, when a Lava dog shares a deep connection with their owner, they can shut down their body when their owner dies. Not all Lava dogs have a deep enough connection for this to happen. It is typical in society for Lava dogs to be buried with or next to their owner.

Weights

Sexuality and gender
Lava dogs are highly intelligent and have picked up a lot from humans. They are capable of being any sexuality or gender.

Edits
Lava dogs can have things such as horns, hair, and wings. Although wings are a rare trait to have. They can even have longer fur.

Diet
They do not need to eat anything to live as their lava powers them. However, they can still be fed. Lava dogs can be fed anything that their lava will burn, but they usually prefer meat and sweets.
