INUGAMI
Name of Species: Inugami.
Baseline Dimension: Inugami have two forms their dimensions changing dependent on which one they inhabit. Generally they have a secondary form that resembles humanoid species following those dimensions. However, their natural state is an incredibly large dog often between 10 to 20 feet in height, they weigh next to nothing never exceeding twenty pounds in spite of their large size and width varies vastly depending on species of canine.
Baseline Appearance: Able to possess any color hair, eyes and skin this species does have a preference for darker colors due to an affiliation with black magic. Occasionally they display special features in their humanoid, elfin ears, fur for hair, dog ears, canine tails, claws, tufts of fur on their body, markings around their neck, markings on their faces and other markings across their body all being possible.
Culture/Origin of Species: Inugami originate as some other sort of dog bases species. When an Inugami reproduces the child inherits the genes for whatever the Inugami was prior as it takes an additional special strenuous circumstance to create an an Inugami, birth isn’t enough. Being spiritual canine deities of revenge Inugami come into existence when canid species have been killed in such a way that leaves them incredibly vengeful. Most typically this involves enduring some sort of starvation resulting in death, though sometimes the event that turned them involves a beheading or being buried under a busy location causing the body to be ‘trampled’ on. However, there have been weird incidents were the rise of an Inugami has nothing in common with the rise of other’s of the species and all that is in common is the fact they died first.

•Inugami are able to physically interact with the emotionally related energies in the world as if they were perfectly tangible things even making them visible to others in the form of colored fog, their claws acting like latches to allow this.
•Due to their nature as spiritual beings regardless of form, false body or possession, Inugami can fly/levitate at will.
•Wield senses of smell, hearing, night vision, etc, stronger than that of the canines they once existed as.
•Inugami possess a natural sense of direction that can not be interfered with making it extremely difficult to disorinate them unless someone’s strength exceeds theirs.
•These canines are specters at their base in spite of being an advanced kind they still retain the basic ability to possess objects and other species.
•Inugami are potent black magic users granting them powerful bodies and abilities.
•As wielders of a strainful art they have evolved to be able to go longer than most others to get the most out of their rather costly magic.
•Born from the shedding of their own blood Inugami are incredibly attuned with the substance able to manipulate their own blood to make weapons or spilled blood to strike someone from behind.
•Easily able to transform between two forms, one of them much more potentially damaging than the other.
•Inugami can solidify shadows into numerous shapes to use them to grip things or such.
•Alternatively the shadow on someone’s back is their negativity, being attuned with that an Inugami can breathe life into and control living shadows, 4 x their strength is the limit for their animation of shadows.
•Oddly malicious as most Inugami tend to be, their consumption of emotional negativity leaves behind only positive emotions ironically making the world around them better.
Flaws:
•Are particularly susceptible to being controlled by those who can control spirits due to the fact their bodies are false constructs or possessed forms. If the strength of the person attempting exceeds the inugami by 2 or more, the Inugami has no choice but to obey.
•If an Inugami or their contracted master does not respect their power’s the innate abilities of the species are quick to spiral out of all control even that of the Inugami itself resulting in an inability to control their abilities for a time the power of the Inugami will lash out with excessive brutality at anyone including its own reflection.
•An excessive use of their species powers against multiple others in a short duration results in the Inugami’s personality darkening and becoming more violent until they can stop using these powers for an extended time.
•Inugami are quickly addicted to their own power’s without some form of coping mechanism it’s next to impossible for them to go a day without making use of their powers and actually puts them through withdrawl systems.
•Perhaps most inconvenient for this species is the fact they no longer sustain nourishment from normal food and instead have to feed off negativity.
•They can suffer from something known as sensory overload which suddenly makes them irate and aggressive until they can escape to rest their senses, in order to escape they will kill if they have reached this state.
