Bond Test

You imagine what it would be like to have a deep bond with the white dog,
and you feel a distinct echo from within it.
You experience feelings of predation, cunning, and ruthlessness.
You experience visions of a glacier.

Bond Failure

The white dog seems to consider you for a brief moment, but then bares its
teeth and you sense that the white dog feels you lack the ability to endure
wintery weather and hunt the taiga and tundra landscapes with its pack.

Bonding Requirements

Judging from the bond test/failure info, probably some combination of cold tolerance, arctic fieldcraft, killer instinct, intimidation, and/or tactics.

Known Abilities

The eishund is a powerful extraplanar canine animal native to the elemental plane of Ice, which can also be found in the Exoma. It is a large, powerful physical combatant with its teeth and the cryomer spikes mounted on its forelegs. It has a carnivorous diet and can see in the dark.

Contact Damage

You pet Griff with your right claw.
You feel yourself slowing down from the effects of ice.
Your right claw is chilled somewhat by contact with Griff's white fur,
though you resist the attack slightly.

This effect is applied in combat when opponents hit the eishund, and will damage the limb used to perform the attack.
