- Please ignore this ugly sketch
It's a character/species concept <3
If this looks similar to a closed species please notify me via PM and I'll change it
Basically, these are a small breed of dog, (I was thinking basenji x husky)
Used in Greek mythology as companion dogs for the people in the cities.
Each dog contained a planet within the circular, secure hold of the tail.
The planet held within the tail would determine the characteristics that their
human companion possessed. Each planet represents different characteristics.
The collar shows that the dog is owned and belongs to their human, and should
they ever become separated, the star on the collar will be recognised by an
identification device (similar to a microchip on a regular dog).
Some basic ideas:
- They never open their eyes in order to be within a closer connection to their human
- The bond is eternal between canid and human, yet if the owner passes away then the
dog looses their collar and they find a new human
- Somewhere on the design there must be a star. Stars symbolise the lifelong journey
between human and dog
- They are believed to have originated in Ancient Greece, the canines from Gods and Godesses present
a mystical, powerful aura either around their paws, eyes, mouth or planet sphere.
- The sphere is made from titanium, it'll nearly never shatter. Seeing a dog with a shattered or cracked sphere
is extremely rare and would be from a distressing event in life
- if the tail is too short to curl around the sphere, then the sphere will balance on the end
