Behavior & Notes

  • Skeletal dog wreathed in soul-fire chains; hunts anyone carrying a curse or sin debuff, ignoring others until cursed targets fall.
  • Chains grab and drag targets toward soul pyres; breaking chains with blunt damage or holy effects frees allies.
  • Howls apply “doom” over time; extinguishing nearby pyres or flooding the arena weakens its fire.
  • Narrative hook: can be temporarily leashed by players who bear a heavier curse, redirecting it toward greater threats.

Open questions / conflicts

  • Set canonical master: does it serve Yama-like judge spirits or roam independently?
  • Clarify whether curing/removing curse pacifies it or makes it flee.
  • Define drops: soul-fire chain links vs. curse-binding tags.
