A dire chihuahua is a terrifying creature packaged into a small sack of fur, flesh and bone. However, unlike normal dire creatures, the dire chihuahua retains a lovable property and can charm as well as frighten. It resembles a normal chihuahua, with a nice thick coat, sharp little canines, and big eyes. Its true nature is revealed when it is hungry and no food is around but living prey, at which it will lunge with horrifying ferocity. Companion Animal? While its intelligence is low, the dire chihuahua is capable of understanding rudimentary commands like those given to domesticated animals. Dire chihuahuas, as opposed to being entirely mean and animalistic, can be kept as a companion, provided it is well cared for, fed, groomed, etc. But it does not easily reciprocate this care, and can still turn on the hand which feeds it at a moment's notice. |
