Gabara Hound

Gabara Hounds are the result of wolves and dogs breeding with one another when left in the wild. These of course was by accident as these dogs originally belonged the fifteenth, eighteenth and third legions of the Vatian Empire during the Dageth campaign. After they were defeat by the High Elves and the Dwarves these dogs escaped their masters and later went feral. Who they breeding happened in unknown, their number steadily grew and began to out number native wolf populations. But most of them would be centered in the Black Plain more then any other place on the continent. Their they would be domesticated by Orcs and used in every day life. Giving them the name "Gabara" in the process. Which in translation means savage in Orcish, due to their savage nature even when domesticated.
