Not seeing constant acts of resistance doesn’t mean it isn’t happening all around you all the time. Some very effective methods require silence and secrecy.

Princess: She’s 3 feet tall

Gorgug, whose type is tiny women: …and that’s a deal breaker?

Princess: She also lives in a working life sized cuckoo clock

Gorgug, the greatest Barbaficer of his age: She lives in a working cuckoo- and you didn’t propose immediately???

Royal Blue Mastiff: Breed Profile

After a few hundred years of breeding (and a small helping of gene splicing technology), the humans of the Royal Blue Mastiff's planet of origin created the perfect hunting compainion for those who sailed the perilous oceans.

Originally the dogs were to bred to track, catch, and harvest the many edible crustacean-like species found along the shores of the ocean. As the breed developed, hunters began to use them to catch larger game, including giant sea turtles.

In build it is comparable to earth Pinnepeds, with a muscular, torpedo shaped body and flat, paddle-like forelimbs that aid in swimming. Its long, flexible tail offers balance and acts as a rudder in the water.

Originally this breed lacked its characteristic quills, but due to the leviathan sized predators on their home planet, gene splicing was used to add them as a defense mechanism. Made from modified hairs, the quills are flexible and can be flattened against the body while swimming and hunting, and stiffened if threatened.

The RBM can hold its breath for an impressive 60 minutes, and has the strongest bite force of any of the AKC (Americadian Kennel Club) recognized dog breeds. Due to being bred to work almost exclusively in water, these dogs can reach lenths of over 20 feet and weigh over a tonne. Care must be taken to watch for deteriation of the joints in terrestrial or high gravity situations.

Royal Blue Mastiffs possess specialized teeth and claws for gripping, crushing, and prying open the shells of its prey. Their large eyes and long whiskers aid hunting in dark and deep waters, and their thick, water resistant fur helps keep them warm.

As the breed became more popular amoung hobbyists, a hairless variety was developed. While hairless RBM's are accepted in the AKC, it is not recommended to allow your Hairless RBM spend extended periods of time in extreme enviorments. The hairless variety also tends to be jowlier, and more prone to excessive drooling. They often need specialized skin care, such as sun screen or moisturizer, to keep them healthy. Poor dentition is also commonly linked to this gene. Speak to your veterinarian about your pet's individual needs.

Those interested in adding a RBM into their family should consider this breeds large size and drive. Early training is a must, as RBM are incredibly tenacious and can be difficult to control due to their size and energy level. Royal Blue Mastiffs were bred to swim for miles at a time in pursuit of quarry; you must have an outlit for your RBM's instincts. An understimulated RBM may become aggressive or destructive. Lots of excersize, training, and enrichment are reccomended.
