LORE

Dust Pups are small, vigilant Forgekin native to the rocky crags and arid ravines of the Dustfall Barrens. Their coarse, earth-toned coats blend naturally with loose stone and windblown soil, allowing them to remain unseen while watching travelers from the ridgelines. Despite their size, Dust Pups are remarkably resilient; when threatened, they brace themselves against the ground and absorb the force of incoming blows. They defend their territory by kicking clouds of grit into an attacker’s face, disrupting its senses before darting between the rocks. Those who earn a Dust Pup’s trust gain a fiercely loyal companion. One that is always at their side and always watching.
