doggart

Amphibious hunters that evolved alongside boggart folk to become loyal companions. In the wild, these critters roam in packs, rooting around in the muck to feed on mucillusks, sink worms, and leechling larvae. Their bark is almost always worse than their bite, but angry doggarts can be quite intimidating with their massive, slobbering maws and powerful jaws. Not many city slickers keep doggarts as pets these days, as they are messy to keep indoors, but just about every swamp and river folk family has a doggart who provides protection and assists on hunting trips.

Names: Scrabbles, Yipper, Gronk, Lulu

abilities

Ferocious Bark

At the start of a Conflict, all Close and Nearby targets must make a Mettle Check. On a 5-, they become FRIGHTENED.

Snag Bite

On a 9+ Hit, the target is ENTANGLED by the doggart's bite and suffers 1d6 ONGOING DREAD until they escape.

vulnerabilities

Doggarts are motivated by food and belly rubs. They especially love Nackadonkee tubesteaks and instantly stop being mean if offered some.

combat

Doggarts aggressively protect their owners and packs. They try to intimidate first, rather than launch straight into Combat, unless commanded by an owner. In the wild, a pack of feral doggarts tries to drag their prey into the slippery mud.
