Issan

Issan was a male hellhound and is now deceased. He was once a member of Badjaw's pack, and briefly a member of his own small pack.

Appearance
Issan is a stout hellhound with short, thick legs, and large, raptor-like dewclaw on his right forepaw. He has a fluffy, curved tail and long fur at the base of his ears. His colors are unknown, though he has very light fur on his body with darker fur on his back, neck, and forehead. He has no eyes, but possesses heat sensors where eyes should be, like his cousin Iralbe. Unlike Iralbe, he does not have eyes anywhere else on his body.

Personality
Issan was known as a kind, charming hellhound willing to help others, even if he did not know them personally. He had a sense of humor, which helped make him very likable. His sense of adventure was quite strong, enough for him and his companions to sneak out of The Crater, despite the dangers outside.

History
Issan, seeking adventure, left The Crater with his two friends, Rummur and Mooseneck, in search of adventure. When they found Niavel, she had been left alone after bandits attacked her and her uncle, who was killed.

Though she was initially horrified by their appearance, Niavel agreed to travel with them after Issan and his friends showed her kindness. At one point he tried to paint himself "eyes" out of mud to try and make her more at ease. Unfortunately, due to the mud covering his heat sensors, he walked straight into a tree. This helped Niavel to become more comfortable with him. They eventually formed a romantic relationship, leaving Niavel pregnant with Issan's puppies.

The group of friends travelled together until the dogs of the Bear's Rock Guard Station found them and attacked. Issan, Rummur, and Mooseneck were all killed, and Niavel was taken prisoner for fighting back to protect them. Their bodies were left to rot until Iacar and his pack found them and gave them a proper funeral.

Trivia

 * Though real life dog breeds do not exist in the world of Wurr, Issan and his sister, Nightclaw have the same form of dwarfism that causes corgis to have shorter legs.
 * His mutation caused his legs to not only be shorter, but the bones to also be thicker than normal.
 * Though he cannot see in the conventional sense, his heat sensors allow him to "see" the heat signatures of things around him.
