Traits

Read from the figure's description, which a model wrote. Open "why" for the sentence a trait came from.

Form

  • Half body vertical split
    why

    In the first they are divided vertically — one side of the body human and the other side dog, taking one half from each, with a single eye set in the centre of the forehead.

  • Hairy giant wildman
    why

    In the second they are ordinary enough in body but carry the head of a dog, exactly like the cynocephali of classical writing.

Roles

Judged from the works' own entries, not from the description. Carries: the figure holds the role. Meets: the role is in its stories, held by something it meets.
