Creature:Babhound

Babhounds are large predatory animals native to the planet Tylon. They are known to be clever despite pre-sapient intelligent levels and are seen as a challenging and entertaining quarry among hunting enthusiasts. They make their homes in the high mountains of Tylon and some in the low forests near the coasts. Babhounds are common sights off of Tylon however, as they are domesticated and kept as pets, beasts of burden, or war-beasts.

Biology
Babhounds are short and cling low to the ground naturally as a predatory mechanism, using their short advantage to sneak up on prey in the wilds of Tylon. They have thick hides and natural bone plates that form on their backs, like a shell.

Babhounds mate 2-3 times a year, with litters ranging from 2-6 pups.
