## Story

### The Legend of the Baekho

This is a story of a white Baekho that comes from the west.

Baekho helps those who are in danger while walking in the forests or mountains and protects them with its spiritual energy.

There was a young girl who once loved to take care of the forest. When the girl was lost in the deep forest, she met wicked dragons, Baekho ran fiercely like the wind, turned around and confused them.

"Ugh! What is this?"

The spiritual energy from Baekho's fast-paced wings made Baekho stronger and faster and it defeated all of the wicked dragons. The situation was settled and Baekho approached to the girl who was shaking and hugged the girl in their arms.

"Don't worry, girl. Your heart that loves nature has led me. I will always be by your side and keep you."

Baekho carefully patted the girl's head with a large amount of spiritual energy, leaving her words quietly. As promised, the girl grew up and became an adult, and the energy of the sacred Baekho protected the girl from all crises until the girl's life ended.

## Evolution

### Egg

It is an egg with blue ears, a tiger pattern, and a white mane, and radiates a spiritual energy. Baekho’s egg protects not only itself but also those who are with it from evil with its spiritual energy.

### Hatch

Ever since hatching, it puts on a friendly and bright expression and tries to be friends. In addition to its divine energy, it can feel the friendliness thanks to its facial expression. The smile and cuteness never leaves Baekho's face and you feel reassured because it always stays by your side. It loves nature and wants to become friends with dragons and Tamers. The more they stay together, the stronger their bond becomes, and Baekho's determination to protect its partner grows even stronger.

### Hatchling

Unlike hatches, hatchlings uses its wings to run quickly. Small light wings grow on its legs and back. As its desire to protect the others became stronger, divine wings sprouted from that mindset. Baekho can run dynamically with its wings. Although it cannot fly in the air for long, it is said to run fast as if it were flying. Baekho's sprint allows it to quickly avoid attacks since there are no birds in sight.

### Adult

It runs dynamically by sending the power of the Shinigami to its wings.

It can now use the decorations worn around its neck. When an evil entity is discovered, the power of the Shinigami latent in the decoration on its neck is sent to its wings, strengthening them. With the added power of the Shinigami, its speed is so fast that it cannot be measured, and its footsteps cannot be heard. It is said that enemies cannot follow its movements and are confused.

It doesn't show itself unless it's a special time. It hides itself in the forest and emerges when it senses danger. It is said that it is seen halfway up the mountain to feel the energy of nature.

## Trivia

The harmony of Blue Dragon, Jujak, Baekho, and Hyeonmu needed for Kirin's summoning is a reference to the Eastern concept of the Four Guardians, repesenting the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise respectively. Baekho (Byakko, in Japanese) is the white tiger of autumn that represents the element of metal and the southern cardinal direction. Tigers like Baekho were considered mythological creatures, as an old legend stated that tigers only turned white upon reaching 500 years old.
