Description
A normal Blink Dog takes its name from its ability to blink in and out of existence, a talent it uses to aid its attacks and to avoid harm. However, this unique breed came from the cross of a Malamute with a Blink Dog. They are impressive hounds prized for their loyalty and keen senses. The tamed Blink Dogs can be trained as guard dogs, hunting dogs, and war dogs. Gnomes and other Small humanoids can ride them as mounts.
These cross-breeds were experiments of the infamous Milekan "Mantleforge" Maekkelferce. While the experiments were successful, the amount of additional training to "tame" them was not economically viable. The Maekkelferce Clan instead trains these creatures themselves and gives them as gifts to a select few individuals. This also makes them exceedingly rare and invaluable.
