Garmhounds are blind dog-like Demons who feast on spirits for nourishment. Used by greater demons for hunting, tracking and terrorising the ordered, Garmhounds know only the primal urges they have been spawned with.
The monstrous Garmhound is spoken of in legends as a demon who torments the souls of the living. As a creature spawned with primal instincts, Garmhounds exist with the sole purpose of needing to hunt and kill creatures of order in order to feast upon their souls, devouring their very spirits in order to grow strong. Many of them are subjugated and held captive by stronger and more intelligent Demons in order to train them into vicious killers, while those found in the wild generally avoid other demons in order to form packs with other Garmhounds and hunt naturally.
As a Garmhound feasts on souls, it becomes stronger. Some Garmhounds have transcended their status of primal beast and ascended to a status of legendary because of how long they've lived and feasted on great souls. Among those legendary Garmhounds is Zannera who is said to have been a pet of Rogue King Yor Qorrus during Luxfordia's reestablishment. Yor is said to have fed the bodies and souls of those who opposed him to his Garmhound, which would eventually result in the beast becoming too strong to control yet despite her power, Zannera would not lash out at her master and would instead run away when he grew weak and died on the throne. Zannera would hide away in the cliffs leading into Victoria and make a lair in one of its caves, granting the region the name "Cliffs of Qorrus". Years down the line, Zannera would awaken during a duel between High King Yvain Greymoore II and his brother Edward Greymoore V. Zannera would unleash her wrath on Yvain and kill him, causing Edward to retaliate and drive the broken shield of his brother into Zannera's skull, fracturing it and leaving her with a gaping chasm. Since then, Zannera continues to prowl the cliffs with her pack, her shattered skull a horrifying sight to behold before meeting one's demise.
Garmhounds are unique in that they are one of few Demons who have been used in experiments by Soulborn races, converting the demon dogs into ordered creatures used in the Afterworld's Underhell as tools of torment on sinful souls.
Powers
Garmhounds use their wolf-like agility and strength to hunt down and gore their prey with sharp fangs and claws. As they are blind and deaf, they rely purely on ethersense in order to track their foes, hunting those who have the strongest and most delicious souls. Their tails form into black skeletal tendrils at the half-way point, allowing their tails to morph into pointed weapons used for delivering mortal blows.
Physical Appearance
Garmhounds are quadruped canid Demons with scale-like skin ranging in an assortment of colours. Their manes and ends of tails are made out of dark bone-like tendrils which they have flexible control over. Their skulls are exposed and feature only a gaping mouth which opens to bite and swallow their prey.
