Description
The Vampire Retainer is an agile predator with moderate offensive power but very low physical durability (0 DEF). Unlike the natural Silver Fang, this wolf is partially made of shadow and is bound eternally to the vampire hierarchy.
In combat, the Retainer acts as the ultimate "harassment unit." It uses its speed to knock enemies prone, creating openings for the Vampire Lord or Vampire Vamp to deliver a finishing blow. Even if the players manage to kill the dog, its Grave Hunger allows it to constantly reappear at its master's side, making it a relentless nuisance.
