Afternoon Rest

A young acolyte and an eight month old Crowned Foo pup rest after an afternoon walk. The breed's characteristic striped ears, tail, and tongue are very noticeable, and though this young individual's namesake cranial spines are still developing, it already sports a full bristling mane. Like most Foo, the Crowned was bred as a dedicated temple guardian in the northern islands. The breed's particularly well-developed third eye makes it uniquely well suited to the task, allowing it to detect demons, halfbreeds (coarsely called Bastards), and other spirits seeking to enter and possibly desecrate temples in disguise. Killing or at least driving off such foul entities is one of the breed's primary duties.
