Bruffs

Bruffs are hybrid shadow bat wolves, hailing from the same realm as the Reapers. These wolves are able to navigate the realm easily as they zip around while flapping their wings. They are generally on their own, but do not mind coming together to work for a common goal, such as hunting down prey for food. Bruffs are territorial creatures, and when they settle on a place they deem as their home, they guard that place fiercely and aggressively.

They also have the ability to hide in shadows, allowing them to easily catch prey unaware. In combination with their flying ability, this makes the Bruffs scary opponents to fight against, especially since they have very good hunting instincts. Some Reapers have taken to domesticating Bruffs, seeing as they are good hunting companions, however it does take a lot of time and effort before a Bruff is able to trust them fully.

When a Bruff has a territory they defend and make their home on, bats will start to appear around them, as the bats know they will be protected in that area. Bruffs can dominate over the bats, as they are part wolf and part bat, along with being able communicate with them through their howls and utilize them in their hunting arsenal. Their howls can act as a sort of echolocation for them to know what's in the area as well.

In terms of how big they get, Bruffs can range from medium sizes similar to a Siberian Husky, to larger sizes like the Alaskan Malamute. These wolves will be a great addition to any spirits that have a preference for the big bad boys, instead of the cutesy little Dweisps. They can be part of your protection team, working alongside your companions to guard and protect you, after they have bonded with their companion.
