[/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Starving Dog is a massive statue, intricately carved to resemble a fierce canine with organic eyes that seem to follow anyone who enters its territory. While dormant, it remains perfectly still on its pedestal, appearing as a lifeless decoration. However, it will spring to life when certain conditions are met: if a person approaches too closely, senses aggressive intent, or detects an intrusion into its designated area.

Once activated, the Starving Dog becomes a relentless hunter. It is solid, fast, and durable, capable of withstanding significant damage. Its most remarkable feature is its regeneration; it can instantly heal from any injury, making it a formidable adversary. The Dog is fiercely loyal to its "master" or their immediate family, attacking anyone else who dares to enter its home.

The Starving Dog can be activated and deactivated by its master at will, allowing it to control when the guardian is on patrol. If someone attempts to teleport it from its dimension, the Dog will "slipstream" back into its designated territory, reappearing in a flash as if it had never left. Its hunting tactics are strategic and aggressive, using its speed to outmaneuver intruders while relying on brute strength to overpower them.[color=2e2c2c].............................................................................[/color][/cell][/row][/table]
