Keen Hearing and Smell. The borzoi has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Wavering Loyalty. The borzoi is not inclined to listen to its owner in matters it deems below itself. If the borzoi does not find the command suitable to its extreme particularity, it may choose to simply ignore it. It is recommended to bribe a borzoi with treats or an offering of a first born child. Otherwise, one can attempt to trick the borzoi into thinking the idea was its own.
Otherworldly Appearance. Anyone coming into contact with a borzoi is momentarily at a perception disadvantage for 1 minute due its mystical and trancendental aura.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. Hit: 2d4+2 piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 11 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Ancient Wisdom. The borzoi can reach within its impressive snout to draw wisdom from borzoi past. This wisdom can conveyed to others through riddles. (Speak with animals is required to hear this wisdom). This wisdom can be pulled upon once per day, and is limited to subjects the borzoi is already knowledgable on.
Emotional. If the borzoi is inconvenienced in any way (including but not limited to: being unable to ruin someone's fun, seeing its own reflection, being rained on, or being kept from comitting arson) the borzoi must make a DC 10 Charisma saving throw. If failed, the borzoi will be overcome with emotion and cry. This crying session lasts one minute and in this time the borzoi is unable to perform any action.
Description
The borzoi is a mystical and ancient being whose earliest appearance can be tracked as far as the beginning of time. The borzoi can be said to resemble other dogs in personality, but do not be fooled; a borzoi holds infinite wisdom and can often be observed speaking in ancient riddles. Appeasing a borzoi is an arduous task, but once they trust you, they will stand by you (most of the time).
The borzoi is extremely fast and agile and, despite being above such things, is known to be a good hunter of small prey.
