life, the universe, and donna

So, I play warcraft, right? And someone created a thread on our guild forums to show off pictures of our wee ones — both 2 and 4 legged. They refer to their 2-legged creature as the Whelpling (a toddler who likes to run around Borean Tundra and farm gold for mummy — good boy! Also responsible for her warlock having a maxed out unarmed skill…)

So I responded to her post of pictures… with my little Corehound. This is what I posted:

I have no whelpling. I have a corehound.

Core hounds are the vicious but faithful servants of Ragnaros and his minions. The beast has the appearance of a massive bulldog with two heads, each equipped with a mouth filled with rows of flaming teeth. Its body is covered with armored hide and studded with bony spikes. A streak of flames runs down its spine from head to stubby tail. The oldest and most powerful of the core hounds is Magmadar, the alpha male and sire of the entire current pack.

Core hounds use simple tactics, attacking the most obviously threatening target first. They will typically attempt an improved grab or bull rush to push their target into nearby lava. A core hound with flaming breath takes hold of a victim before using its flaming breath, thus preventing the victim from escaping the effect. Core hounds grow and gain power throughout their lives.

(Special thanks to Jasper, my parents golden retriever puppy — currently 9 months old and at about 90lbs, he’s turning into quite the corehound himself — for assisting in my corehound demonstration.)
