Diamond Dog (3.5e Race)

Diamond Dogs

Personality

Diamond Dogs normally are on the search for gemstones to collect in their cavernous homes.

Physical Description

A diamond dog stands at a bit shorter height than a human would, they would be a bit lighter than a human in weight. The overall build might be brutish/canine look, but they are thin too. They typically have fur in greys or earth tones, their eyes are also in earth tones. Their claws appear sharp enough to dig through solid dirt.
