Komainu

(C) Hyper Paws Gaming, LLC

The Komainu is a holy dog that resembles a lion and dog. It protects gates and doors and prevents those with wicked intent from entering. Female Komainu typically guard inside of places while the male guards outside. They are said to be sent by gods to protect shrines. The owner of shrines were surprised by stone statues of creatures that looked similar to dogs and lions. At day, they are stone statues, and at night, they protect the shrine from evil. When someone breeds two Komainu, they receive good luck for bringing more guardians into the world. They play a special role in the April Renewal Festival.

## Breed in Wasabi (SPOILERS)

**SPOILERS BEGIN HERE:**

The Komainu have several colors/features unique to them. First, they have the standard boost to their stats, like all special breeds, which helps with better show placement and better puppies from breedings. They have their own shrine in the park, which will be added to the game mid-April 2022. Different events through out the year will be made available, in which the shrine will interact differently with a Komainu than other breeds.

The Komainu also has a different set of morals than other breeds, which it takes quite seriously. Komainu will refuse to be adopted by any adopters who seem to be criminal in nature. They currently have 17 standard colors and males and females have different line art from each other.
