Thieving Dredge
(Ask sallymay6 to be one)
BASIC BACKGROUND
History- Believed to be pets to Demons they where shunned and hunted by mortals. Wanting revenge, they helped the Umbra Witches take over them. Now in the present day they are rare to be seen since there are so few because of mortal witch hunts and being drenched with Holy Water at the door steps of Churches when caught stealing at markets to keep themselves alive.
Evolution- Breed started out as living Swamp water, murky, dark, and vines hanging from the head, body, and tail. Gradually became more dark and murky to avoid being caught and eaten and started losing the vines on the head, tail, and body because of tripping over them while running away from predators.
Females became bigger and more dominate because of males being hunted to stop breeding. Now present day they are cat like and sneaky from the swamps they live in, dark colored and very furry around the mane to act like a bush or to look like swamp algae
