Canine Specter lore

Species: CreatureRegion: AzeelEra: Prosperous Era

Now that the world seems to have regained its elemental balance, nature and its adaptation to the environment can be observed as never before. In the region of Azeel, whose woods stretch across the lands northwest of Vaeloria, one can find non-aggressive creatures whose goal is to scare. The Bouha thus becomes a tourist spot for its tests of courage, or for its Canine Specter. It takes the form of the last animal companion you loved, letting you say goodbye to it one last time.
