Dogmen

== Description ==
These beings appear as tall, lanky, emaciated humanoids with the heads of dogs - most often wolves or wolf-like canines - their fur as pale as the moon. Their skin is pale with a soft blue glow, their eyes are icy and blank, glinting in the darkness like an animal’s. They are classed as bodiless, however, and move about very much like a spirit - teleporting or winking in and out of the physical realm. They’re most solid in the spirit world.
Very little is known about these alien creatures. They do not speak but when grouped together have been known to howl and bay like wolves and coyotes. They do not appear to be a threat to either human or shapeshifter - with exception of the Three-Eyed Dogman - and have even been known to help those in spirit form or dog head form in the spirit world by guiding them to their desired destinations. It is extremely rare that they congregate, but they tend to do so at lonely cross sections of paths or roads. Indeed, dogmen seem to prefer pathways - either roads, forest trails, even railroad tracks - that are very seldom traveled by any living creature. They can also manifest fairly regularly in liminal spaces - areas in which the veil between our world and the spirit world is thin and most often late at night. Usually these are abandoned or places rarely visited by humans. There is an increased possibility of encountering a dogman under a full moon.
It is curious to note that most dogmen appear genderless. “Dog person” would probably be more accurate but “dogmen” just rolls off the tongue better.
There is a legend among werewolves that dogmen are actually werewolves in Dog Head form who long ago became severed from their physical bodies. Exposure to the spirit world has warped their minds and appearance.
