Deog

The Continental version of dogs, these creatures are one of the many types of Beasts. Except they are really only like dogs in behavior and demeanor, looking really not the same and being way bigger. Deogs have the attitude of really friendly golden retrievers and like to run and play. They live in pacts or with humans that they get very emotionally attatched to. When I say way bigger I mean the size of a four door sedan. Domesticated by humans Deogs have only two special abilities:

• Body regeneration
• Lesser Vine Manipulation

The second ability is a vastly toned down version of what Thorn Nymphs do. Its honestly more akin to Bulbasaur's whips from the Pokemon anime. Deogs are used by humans for companionship mostly, as they are hard to train beyond basic skills and very clumsy often smashing small things beneath their paws. 'Dumb as a Deog' is a minor insult in all cases.
