Canis Corpus - The Lunar Hound by Pachabel

Canis Corpus - The Lunar Hound

Pachabel

Whoops. I wanted to do a Monster Girl Monday sketch while taking my lunch break but instead we got a Canis Corpus headworld sketch!

I was asked a while back about if the gods who created the races could also create other life. I recall giving a vague answer of yeah they can. However, most non god-token races (Humans, Werewolves, Vampires, and Pricolici created as the avatars of the four) are actually not god-made, but born out of the myths and terrors of the token races themselves.

The Lunar Hound (Also known as the Night Hound to some) is a monstrous wolf with six moon-like eyes and full of stardust instead of blood and organs. Biirthed from the terrors and speculations of werewolves, little is known to the origin of the Lunar Hounds in werewolf society, but their earliest culture depicts a large dark monstrous wolf eating those that are said disloyal to The Watcher, though that is simply a translation of the drawing.

Various cultures take on the beast ranges from them coming to eat troublemakers, warmongers, and traitors or even coming to take away naughty children as a sort of boogeyman. Others may say that they're actually a spy or scout for the goddess herself, given a chance to redeem themselves for turning from her path. Other rumors range from there being only one in existence to there being one for every werewolf who puts on the 'wrong' skin and becomes trapped in a new, mutilated body for going against their nature.

TRIVIA:

*There are at least 2 Lunar Hounds as there have been sightings of both a black one, and one colored after an Indian Wolf.
*Some cultures as capital punishment will leave out the prisoners to be eaten or spirited away by Lunar Hounds.
*They're picky eaters, however, and often they only eat the left arm and the head of their victims.
*They're trackable from the faint trails of stardust (sparklyyy) they leave. Not recommended.
