Size: Large

General Description:
It's said they became more domesticated as they spent more time during the various scattered settlements and villages. One thing that was noted about them was their strong bonds with their pack, intelligence and strong amount of power for their size. A average Rish Sheppard can lift many times their weight, and can grow stronger due to the supernatural enertgy stored into their muscles.
Rish Shepperds are known not only for protecting people and live stock from predators; but also people in general from things such as evil spirits. Their teeth has a special substance that allows them to hit non corporeal enemies. It's said its due to the energy stored inside themselves, and judging by the fact they have been able to hit such beings physically with their body that idea holds true.
A Rish's teeth grow throughout their life, and will at times leave teeth behind so this should be noted with proper care.
It's unknown the exact date, but they were imported around the late 18th or 19th century into the Earth Realm where they were used for various jobs: from Nobus work, farm or just a family friend. Due to their power, only a small amount of people are allowed to own one; usually after vigorous background checks and a idea of how to handle big, powerful breeds.

Personality:
Rishtaroch, like most dogs form very close bonds with their family and become fiercely protective if they are threatened. Generally though, they are mellow and easy going even the ones in a more tense enviorment such as helping farmers protect their live stock from predators. The key to this is their ability know when to work, and when to play. Play hard, work hard sums them up pretty well.
They are also generally very gentle with children and will have the urge to guard them. This normally isn't a problem as they know what and what doesn't count as a threat but its something to keep in mind. They can break the back of a Lion or chase of a evil spirit only for a hour later to roll on their back to have a child rub their stomach as if nothing happened.
