Zantus is of a northern breed of dogs (similar to the real world [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Mastiff Tibetan Mastiff]). As pictured to the side he is a solidly built animal with heavy bones, a barrel chest and a relatively short and well-muscled neck as well as a distinctive head shape dominated by a short muzzle and pendant ears. His coat has a "liver and tan" pattern with the darker brown covering most of his body and the lighter tan underneath and in highlights such as his eyebrows. His eyes are brown, but so dark a shade that they appear black on all but the closest examination. (The also includes a size comparison of Marley and Zantus in the corner of the picture.) |

Zantus is of a northern breed of dogs (similar to the real world Tibetan Mastiff). As pictured to the side he is a solidly built animal with heavy bones, a barrel chest and a relatively short and well-muscled neck as well as a distinctive head shape dominated by a short muzzle and pendant ears. His coat has a "liver and tan" pattern with the darker brown covering most of his body and the lighter tan underneath and in highlights such as his eyebrows. His eyes are brown, but so dark a shade that they appear black on all but the closest examination. (The also includes a size comparison of Marley and Zantus in the corner of the picture.)
Zantus is trained for combat, including wearing barding. Like any combat trained riding dog, he knows the following tricks: attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel. He responds to commands given in goblin-talk as well as those given to him by a trusted rider though simplified handspeech (though the use of hand taps and leg motions).
