Rediscovered a really old sketch of a creature in a novel I wrote. I think I want to try again and see if I have improved at all. "Ruby is a Mole hound used by dwarves to find treasures in the mountain. Usually. Ruby is a trained assassin working alongside her handler, a dwarf by the name of Diamond, to hunt down their targets, using her specialized sense of smell. The size of an average golden retriever, and the ruby red wrinkled skin of a sphinx cat, her large ears overshadow her eyeless snout and the squirmy feelers on her nose. With hard, hoof like toes, specialized for boring and cracking open rocks, Ruby is often viewed as a creature of nightmares. At least her dwarven counterpart adores her."
