Creature:Valnarhound

Origin of Name
Well simply, the name "Valnarhound" was created by mixing the first syllabol of "Valhalla", the second syllabol of "Ragnarok", and then ending it with "hound".

''The goal was to create a name for the species that would equal up to what they are decribed as being in myth and legend among beings who have heard of them. Now to describe such legend....~StR'13dM''

Valnarhounds, or otherwise known as "alien hellhounds", are an isolated race of creatures. Their empire is scattered in a cluster of stars found in an unnamed galaxy (most likely a galaxy torn apart by the gravitational pull of an even larger galaxy.).

These creatures are named for their hound-like appearance, and also for their variable elemental powers. The first of the Valnarhounds to be recorded were those of the fire element, thus what gave many the impression that they were demon creatures (not only that, but some also sported horns on their heads). Not shortly after, though, was it that Valnarhounds of other elements were found and recorded. Those of the race decided to introduce themselves to other alien races under the name, since their natural species name is much too difficult to pronouce by other species who don't know of their language. Valnarhound language can only be worded with onomatopoeias, since it seems the species has no written language.

Anatomy
Valnarhounds are described as being anthropomorphic canine creatures, although technicly they are not even related to the family. The biggest similarity the two share is the make-up of their teeth.

Valnarhounds do grow horns on their heads, but it is not until the pup reaches full maturity with his or her horns start to even develope. The shapes and colours of the horns also vary with the owner's element (i.e. Fire Valnarhounds have dark maroon horns, Electric Valnarhounds have bolt-shaped horns, and Earth Valnarhounds have horns that look similar to stag antlers.) These horns appear to grow at a fast pace in the stages of developement, but the growth slows down after they fully form.

''The description and detail sheets are still being written for these species, and I apologize for not finishing this article. I only ask that nobody edits this, unless there is a spelling/grammer error, then I would appriciate that.''
