Crystalline Shard-Back
A dog-sized creature bristling with Voxel-slate crystals, driven by an insatiable hunger for magical energy.
It looks almost like a badger, if a badger were armored in jagged crystal and vibrated with a low hum that makes your teeth ache. The Shard-Back sniffs the air — no, not the air. It is sniffing your Rune Pouch. The crystals along its spine pulse brighter as it turns toward you, and you can feel the runes in your pack growing warm. It is not malice in those faceted eyes. It is hunger.
