I've had the idea of Anabaa keeping hellhounds around for years, and I'm finally implementing the sooty monsters. They're basically just smoke that envelops a skeletal frame, which becomes more apparent when they move too quickly; the skeleton underneath will show up as all the smoke blows away. There'll be three of these ladies in Anabaa's office for the comic! They're great cleanup for unruly employees~
PS - They are all ladies and while their canid forms can vary, I just prefer the sleek look of dobermans for Anabaa's aesthetic.
