Foo Creature (GAP)

__TOC__
Most often, a foo creature - either dog or lion - will be found on one of the rocky astral islands. They make their lairs amid the floating isles sometimes, although never together (the dogs and lions never mix). It is said that the barking of foo creatures can sometimes be heard carrying much, much farther than other sounds on the Astral.
Despite the similarities in their natures, the chaotic/lawful differences between the shedu and the foo creatures keep them from allying. An astral deva will consider a foo creature a friend, but will never ask it to come into a dangerous situation on the deva's behalf.
Foo creatures possess large, blunt heads with bulging eyes that are wide-set. Foo dogs have long, floppy ears, broad noses, and short bush-tipped tails. The color of their fur may be white, green, violet, gray, or more commonly, golden or black. Foo lions appear similar to foo dogs, except they are larger with longer tails and bigger mouths. They possess shaggy manes and fur of a variety of colors, but the most common colors are black, orange, or gold. Both foo lions and foo dogs bite (2d8 and 1d12 points of damage, respectively) and use their claws (2d4 and 1d4+1 points of damage, respectively) to attack.
