A formidable creature blending a lion's powerful, muscular body with a hound's agile frame. Its shaggy, dark obsidian fur covers its robust form, sometimes appearing to swirl with a subtle, smoky aura. A thick, dark mane frames a leonine head, which features a slightly elongated, hound-like snout and eyes that glow with an infernal, crimson light. Sharp, metallic fangs protrude from its powerful jaws, and its large, clawed paws are tipped with blackened, razor-sharp talons, giving it a menacing and predatory posture.
