Editing Hounds of Mandalay (section)

=== '''Ripper.'''===

Ripper is a fearsome beast, human in intelligence, by far the smartest of the pack. He is the Mage of the group. He changes into a human form to hang spells and maintain them.  He tends to catch on fire because of a curse-Susceptible to fire. He has grown to enjoy the feeling of being on fire, and the smell of burned fur & flesh. He has rune-inscribed claws that do Extreme Damage and are unhealable except by extreme measures. He has a yellow Mandalay stone embedded in his right eyes that improves his magic further.

His human form is not very good, sort of a wolf's view of human. Face smooth, hair scruffy, indistinct features mark a doll-like human form. He could do better if he chose to but Fleece has told him not to do so. Despite his human form and his magical powers, one should never forget he is merely Fleece's mouthpiece.
