The Traveler
Hyde
Images:
Designation: Non-sentient
Homeworld: Cloned Species
Language: NA
Average height of adults: 1 meter
Skin color: Black
Hair color: reddish brown
Breathes: Type 1
Strengths:
Flesh and Steel: The Hellhound is a beast made of flesh and steal, its bones are reinforced by steel which adds some defensive measure to the beast. Including a sensor that has been inserted into its brain that allows it to see in the infrared spectrum as well as normal.
Heightened Smell: The Hellhound has a heightened sense of smell do to the Strill DNA and a scent analyzer unit. This scent ability is accurate up to five kilometers of range and within 37 hours for a strong scent. As the hours pass the scent ability of a particular spot or path degrades by 15% for every hour after 37.
Anti-Force Aura: Genetically modified with Ysalamir genes inserted that grant them a far weaker version of the force neutral bubble. This bubble only radiates a half meter around the body of the Hellhound.
Weaknesses:
Pack Hunter: The average Hellhound is not a large threat by itself though its force neutralizing aura has made unwary jedi used to relying on the force to fight a victim, instead they hunt in packs and coordinate their attacks to optimize their chances of taking down prey.
Low Defenses: Though their bones are reinforced their flesh is still soft and easily torn and slashed like any other creature. So long as the impact is not on bone and in some cases a medium powered weapon will still penetrate it.
Weak: The Hellhound is an amalgam of flesh and steel, Dna and genetic traits from dozens of species. While this has allowed them to adapt certain traits and size, along with their fierce look this has not improved their strength or vatality. Instead the Hellhound relies on its weight to take a prey target down and hold it while it and its pack use their wicked jaws to tear the intended victim asunder.
Power not Overwhelming: Unlike the Ysalamir that they take their force neutral ability from the Hellhound's bubble does not benefit from being in proximity of others and their bubble does not grow or expand. This requires the pack to coordinate if they intend to neutralize a force target and also places them closer for grenade attacks.
Berserk: The cybernetics in the Hellhounds brain are sensitive and a emp or damage to it can disable its FOF ( Friend Or Foe) sensors causing it to strike out at anything that is not part of their packs.
Distinctions: Hellhounds are a tainted sight brought forward by the Nightmares of the sleeping God, it is desinged and grown only to kill. The DEITI-HellHound Alpha is to be feared.
Average Lifespan: 5 years
Races: None
Estimated Population: Are a cloned and grown unit, only a few thousand of them at any given time are present in Primeval forces.
Diet: Nutrient Fluids
Communication: Yips, snarls and yaps
Culture: The Hellhound lives only to serve, its pack mates are its weapon and its God is The Host Lord. Bred to fight, Bred to die, Bred to bleed.
Technology level: NA
General behavior: When not on the field of battle Hellhounds serve as scent hounds for Primeval forces, and as occasional executioners for particularly cruel commanders. When they are deployed on the field of battle they seek out force sensatives and will make a hell or high water assault against them that results in either their death or the destruction of the force sensitives.
In combat Hellhounds rely on their pack and their ability to coordinate their attacks. The general move is a three pronged flanking attack that puts the largest and oldest Hellhound in front of the victim, and the other pack members coming in from the sides and the back. By the time the target realizes that when it grows close they are subjected to a force neutralizing bubble it is usually to late, for few force users have ever lost the force and been forced to fight without it.
