Tenebu

Tenebu are an artificially bred race of tracking hounds used by demons of the Dark Contract, even Luxien herself.

Description
Tenebu aren’t very tall, yet they are quite robust and finely muscled. Their figure is slightly reminiscent of a lion, but only slightly. They are a race descended from felstalkers with an occasional crossbreed with warpstalker, resulting in a thick neck and relatively short muzzle. Their teeth and claws are very sharp, and some of the horned Tenebu have learned how to ram an enemy with their horns. Between their nostrils is a small, blunt horn. Their eyes are almost black, enabling them to see in the dark. Their body is covered in rough fur with colors varying from white to black or brown with green tints. They have a long, thin tail with a bit of fur at the end. They can run very fast, using their short, yet powerful legs, for long and quick leaps.

While they aren’t very intelligent, their ability to track their prey using echolocation and their heightened sense of smell is valued highly by Luxien’s houndmasters. They are naturally ferocious and the best of all Tenebu are empowered by fel magic, making them even more bloodthirsty and powerful. Void-infused Tenebu are extremely rare, yet some do exist. Tenebu can be easily immobilized by damaging their front legs, since they carry most of their weight on them.
