Sniffer Dog
Male:
Female:
Description:
Sniffer Dogs are dog-type creatures that have long, prehensile tongues that they use to drain the blood of their prey. They have dirty, leathery skin which appears to be decaying and, strangely, make snarling sounds which resemble that of a large feline rather than a canine. Their gums are prominant and hold large, dagger-like canines. The male variety has visible eyes, ears and green tinted fur and flesh. Females are missing eyes and ears and are purple tinted, with longer, sharper claws. The gender and rank of the Sniffer Dog is betrayed by their coloration. Green-tinged Sniffer Dogs, thought of as males, are weaker and less threatening than the purple-tinged, thought of as female, variety.
Method of Attack:
The male Sniffer Dogs have a green-yellow tinge to their skin and attack by charging up and lunging towards the characters' torso. Female Sniffer Dogs, which have a purple-pink appearance, are much more intelligent and tend to detect the characters' presence more quickly. The females are capable of grabbing onto the leg and pinning the player down while others of its companions attack him. The Sniffer Dogs often appear in groups and are usually witnessed feeding on other deceased monster carcasses.
Symbolism:
Their canine form is a reference to young Walter Sullivan's fear of dogs after he visited a pet shop during his childhood and was nearly bitten by one. Additionally, their tongues bear a close resemblance to an umbilical cord, echoing Walter's longing for his mother.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Any of the reasons similar to the plight illustrated above.
Area:
• Subway World
• Forest World
• Building World
• Apartment World
