Ruby Hound (Creature) Synopsis[edit]

A ruby red, hairless, medium-sized quadruped with tough skin with crystal-like eyes.

Ruby Hound (Creature) Physiology & Ecology[edit]

With their gem-like eyes and powerful hind legs, leaping ruby hounds propel themselves up into trees, onto buildings and vehicles. Their two large, soft toes with a web between them, and a claw set high up afford them good traction on uneven surfaces. While they have no fur, their thick skin is soft to the touch.

Ruby Hound (Creature) History & Background[edit]

Leaping ruby hounds seem to have a knack for getting into air and service ducts. Somewhat overconfident, they often get stuck in places that no one would expect to find them.

Eager to please, Ruby Hounds learn quickly. Many individuals consider these animals ideal free-roaming guard dogs, as they can patrol almost any environment, even if it involves swimming. They can easily be trained to quietly watch intruders into territory, while wearing a camera, and only to take food from people they know.
