Canomorph
3 variants
Whether hound or man, Canomorphs practice evil in the open, daring others to challenge them. While most are in the service of their creators, the archfiends, many are free as they make opportunities for them to leave their service. Nothing brings them as much joy as making someone back down using their might and words.
Evil to the Core
They rarely bother trying to conceal their nature. Even under the command of their creator they believe that they are the better and wait for their creator to slip up or to make a “mistake” and be forced to leave their creator’s service. Unlike many races, Canomorphs flaunt their evil nature. They laugh in the faces of individuals that quiver in their presence or must back down from their taunts and brutal actions.
Evil Shapeshifting Hounds
Canomorphs look like "ordinary" fiendish hounds in their hound form, their humanoid forms vary between their subraces. They proudly strut around in the canine and human form, gleefully enjoying any discomfort their forms cause. While they were originally a hound created by fiends, they have no preference between their forms once after their creation.
Hounds of the Lower Planes
Canomorphs are created by powerful Archdevils, Demonlords, and Yugoloths to serve as guardians, trackers, and watchdogs. They serve them faithfully unless they are let loose to cause mayhem or they invoke the ire of their creator. Even if they are dismissed by their creator, they move on quickly and often never think of them again as they focus on becoming stronger and acting on any petty grudges they may have picked up during their service to their creator.
