Physical Description
Fang is a large black boarhound, his shaggy coat deep as midnight over a massively muscular frame. Long yellowed teeth protrude prominently from powerful jaws, paired with wary yellow eyes in a broad head. He lumbers with heavy paws, tongue lolling and drool trailing, a hulking presence both fearsome and timid. Massive boarhound with shaggy fur and powerful build. Large head often rests timidly on a knee or lap, or positioned at heels. His expression mixes loyalty with apprehension, barking loudly when roused.
