Introducing: my new Saluki boy! What's funny is he was origionally a Beagle. AWKWARD, LOL! Anyway, he's a black 'n' silver solid feathered Saluki. (info on Saluki colors -> [link] ) His anatomy is really awkward, I know. I don't quite know why. The toes came out all wrong. Eh, it'll be better next time.

Marzipan is a dog owned by a very well-to-do family in the Victorian part of planet Opalian. He's a major rarity in the area, but he likes to run off to the Hotseth Desert and run with the wild packs of Salukis that hunt the leggy hares in the area. These packs, like all of the wild dog packs, come from Salukis whose owners died, or were abandoned. Every once in a while, a member of the pack will be captured (usually young members, this also often happens with litters of pups) and taken to be trained to hunt for an owner. This is how Marzipan ended up in his home. Despite his love of hunting his own meat, he loves his pet home where he can sleep on any furniture and is cared for by a personal servent who grooms him, feeds him, and generally does his bidding (note that all creatures can talk on Opalian). He got his name because he was lured by one of the almond confections into the crate that was used to take him to his new home. He loves the things. He's still under development, and next week he might be a circus dog or something. =.='
