Goblin Dog
Creature 1 — animal
FlankerLANDanimalgoblin
Goblins' eponymous pets aren't true canines at all but rather large, blunt-nosed rodents with thin bodies and long legs. Often as cowardly as they are ugly, goblin dogs prefer to lurk behind bushes or in deep shadows, only pouncing upon lone or wounded prey. Goblin dogs frequently roam in packs, but they are likely to flee from a fight if injured, even if it means abandoning their packmates. Goblin dogs take their name from a long association with goblins, who breed the beasts as guard animals
