Basil
Basil is this rolly female Dwarven Boarhound pup, she is of a breed developed by the dwarves that live in the mountains west of the Great desert on Sol. Used by the Dwarves to hunt Wild Boar and other fierce creatures in maze of caverns and tunnels. She will grow into a large heavy boned bear like dog with long ears and small eyes able to run down boar and hold them at bay. Breed to work in dark tunnels she uses her nose and ears more than her eyes to hunt. She has great night vision but finds sunny afternoons too bright. The puppy is black in colour, with a coarse smooth coat and will grow to weigh 180+ lbs and be 2 ft 4 inches (70cm) at teh shoulder when fully grown at about 1 1/2 years of age. (Think St Bernard, without the long coat) She was bought by Menolly while on the adventure of Deserts, Dungeons and Dwarves.

If the dog scores a successful hit in close it will latch on and continue to do damge every pulse until the victim is dead, the dog takes effective damage, it's hold is broken (or it's master intervenes). Once it's hold is broken the dog will need to make another successful strike check, to continue to use it bone breaking jaws to crush and sever bone and tissue. (a number of these dogs are meant to over power and hold a Boar until the hunter can get in and kill it)
