Habitat: The NightPup is a Scalvoris-specific breed of dog which is bred in Scalvoris Town, Almund and Darbyton. They are most available in these locations, although they can be bought throughout the island. There are not examples of the NightPup in the wild, they are all the domestic variety.

Lifespan and Development: Lifespan: approximately 16 arcs. Their development is much the same as the dog which they look like, with the same gestation, birth and time as a puppy.

Appearance: Growing to roughly the size and shape of a Collie Dog, the NightPup looks a lot bigger because it is a very fluffy beast. They range in colouring from pure white through to pure black and with many shades and patterns in between. In their colouring they are unlike other canines as there are a range of colours, including deep purples, blues and green. Their eyes are always a solid colour, which is always different to their coat. They have strange bushy tails and long rabbit-like ears. The tail and ears are usually the same colour. They also have a second pair of very small eyes above their main ones. These are fully functional.

Diet: Meat & Vegetables, as per dogs.

Temperament: The NightPup is a friendly creature which craves attention and love. If it is homed somewhere where it is given sufficient attention it will become a loyal family member who will die to defend the household. They are naturally playful and will tend to identify most strongly with one member of the house they live in, although they will defend all of them. They make excellent family pets due to their placid temperament and loyal nature.

Abilities: If defending their owners, the NightPup will use their sharp teeth to their fullest. They are heavy for their size and will defend without consideration for their own safety. Their only other ability is that they glow in the dark, emitting a soft and very comforting glow.

Weaknesses: They eat a lot. Need to trust their owner and bond / develop a relationship before they will defend you. Need to be well trained or they become furniture-chewing machines. Cute, furry ones, but still.
