Apologies if there's a set person to make these threads, I just figured since there was nothing up yet and the site seems to be a bit slow lately, I'd do it.
I'll do my best!
And sincerest, deepest apologies if someone beats me to posting this lol.Inferno Hound:
-Egg
"This egg is shaped like a ribcage and is filled with fire."
-Juvenile
[No Dimorphism]
"When an inferno hound egg hatches, it is with a burst of flames, leaving behind a pile of bones and a small spark inside what appears to be a small rib cage. This spark is crucial and it must be tended carefully as if it should go out, the hound will not grow. This spark needs to be tended until it becomes a small flame, at which point the bones will fuse together and form a small hatchling. A hatchling iInferno hound needs plenty of bones to eat and a nice fire to sleep in as they grow. Hatchlings are a lot more docile than adults and it is at this point that a magi must take care to tame them properly as once they grow into adults, it is nearly an impossible task."
-Adult
[No Dimorphism]
"Once the small flame inside their rib cage grows into a roaring inferno, a hound has reached adulthood. If raised properly, an inferno hound can be kept as a companion, though one should always take care around them as they can still be dangerous. Knowledge of flame repellent spells and flame repellent clothing is a must when handling these creatures. Though they have no need to eat as they will not starve, inferno hounds do eat bones any chance they get as it strengthens their bones and repairs any breaks they may have acquired. Many magis who keep these hounds use them for forging as the swords and metal work made from the flames of an inferno hound has distinct red shimmering veins that are unable to be replicated by other means and as such, has become a hot commodity sold in Synara City."
-General
"One of the more dangerous creatures that roam the Etain Desert, these skeletal creatures are best to be avoided. Inferno hounds are easily recognizable by their rib cage filled with living fire, and horns on top of their skull. While they have a powerful bite that can easily break bone, they rarely have need as they are able to set ablaze anything unfortunate enough to get caught in their fiery gaze. It is said that the flames inside their ribs is what gives an inferno hound its life and that without it, the hound would be nothing more than a pile of bones. Many believe that these flames is how Odan Galopin was able to create the flaming comets and though many have experimented, no other magi has been able to replicate Odans magic."
Tainted Hound:
-Egg
"This egg is shaped like a ribcage and is filled will a thick, purple sludge."
-Juvenile
[No Dimorphism]
"A tainted hound egg does not hatch in the traditional sense, but instead falls apart into a pile of bones and a small puddle of thick purple sludge. This purple sludge is not as toxic as a fully grown tainted hound, but it still needs to be handled carefully as it can make magis extremely sick. Over the next few days a magi needs to continually feed the sludge bottles of various poisons and other toxic substances. Soon, the bones will fuse together and form a small hatchling. A hatchling tainted hound needs plenty of bones and poisonous substances to eat and drink as they grow. Hatchlings are a lot more docile than adults and it is at this point that a magi must take care to tame them properly as once they grow into adults, it is nearly an impossible task."
-Adult
"If raised properly, a tainted hound can be kept as a companion; though they are extremely toxic and should always be handled with care. Though they have no need to eat as they will not starve, tainted hounds do eat bones any chance they get as it strengthens their bones and repairs any breaks they may have acquired. While there are some magis who collect the toxic sludge to sell in the black market for various purposes; many magis who keep these hounds use them for forging. Swords and metal work cooled in the purple sludge from the tainted hound has distinct purple shimmering veins that are unable to be replicated by other means, and as such, has become a hot commodity sold in Synara City."
-General
"For those wandering Silva Forest at night, they may never know that they are being watched until it is too late. One should alway be wary of tainted hounds as they will follow magis silently in the dark, waiting for them to stumble before they attack. If a magi, or any other unfortunate creature manages to escape a tainted hound's jaws, they never make it far before the venom coursing through their veins takes its course. While they look similar to the inferno hound, tainted hounds are easily recognizable by their skeletal appearance and rib cage filled with a toxic purple sludge. This purple sludge is what gives the tainted hound life and without it, it would be nothing more than a pile of bones."

Fiery/Sludgy bone doggies!!! How exciting! I wonder if you could manage a way to cuddle them? Maybe with a fire and toxin proof coat?
