Description
Akela Mastiffs are immense hounds and fierce warriros. Breed by blending the fiercest and most loyal mastiffs with enormous and highly intelligent wolves, the Akela blends features of both species. Fully three foot tall at the shoulder and weighing in excess of 220 pounds, the Akela Mastiff is generally not trained but instead chooses to loyally serve. Whatever the nature of the relationship, they are fierce warriors and, like the black wolves they are bred with, benefit from the power of a pack. Akela senses are as refined as any wolf but Akelah mastiffs lack the stealth needed in the wild - they are thoroughly domisticated.
