Camo Dogs

A pack of perfectly designed predators - Phoenix ' allies

Description and Behaviour
Description

First seen as a silver shimmer, we now know these are perfectly camouflaged tailless canine animals living in the forest just on the edge of the Phoenix settlement.

Armed with sharp teeth and claws, the bites they leave on prey leave a luminous blue sticky liquid that smells sickly sweet, to slow them down, and to visibly mark the target for the rest of the pack with both colour and scent.

Behaviour

Shown to be highly intelligent, enough to work out and avoid traps set for them, they are clearly a cut above other usual pack animals. From studying two in captivity, it has been determined that they have a clear social hierarchy with the higher ranking members gaining the first pick of the food, and the comfiest places to rest while the lesser ranking members keep watch. They become restless and sad when without others of their kind, indicating that their bonds with each other are close-knit and essential for their happiness.

They appear to be nocturnal, preferring to operate at night, though scouts sent out during the day have still been known to be attacked and disappear.

These creatures are slow to trust, but it is possible that their trust can be earned slowly over a long duration of time, with gifts, and as long as no threat is posed to them.

Since first studying the camo dogs, they developed speech, and are now able to communicate with members of Phoenix, whom they appear to have allied themselves with.

Diet: Meat

Intelligence: Incredibly high

Threat level: Low-moderate (for now)

Weaknesses

 * Their camouflage seems to glitch and work ineffectively around flashing and changing patterns
