Crystalian Canines

crystalian canines are not very different from your average canine. despite looking like a canine in the day, there are a few quirks to being a crystalian one. for one, once a crystalian canine (crystal canine for short) goes into the dark, their pelt lights up and shines brightly like their crystal breed (read below for crystal breeds for your character) so they usually have a source of light. like their light up pelt, they can change their eyes to become the crystal breed they were born with at will (which is the only difference from their light up pelt), so that's also a good thing.

here's a list of crystal breeds for your character:

ruby-pelt: like told above, this is a breed. a crystal canine that gains this breed at birth will be able to light up their pelt at will with the color red, and so their eyes. the ruby-pelt's weakness is incoming danger/fear, which will cause the canine to freeze up, and be unable to assist in battles or in danger-filled areas, etc.

amethyst-pelt: this is also a crystal breed. if your character has this breed, your canine will be able to light their pelt up at will with the color purple, same with the eyes. the amethyst-pelt's weakness is immense heat, which will cause the canine's power to light up to fade until they become cold again, and make them 50% weaker then their original state.

emerald-pelt: like the others, this is another crystal breed. if your character is an emerald-pelt, they will be able to light their pelt up with the color orange- and so the eyes. the emerald-pelt's weakness is if they use their pelt-light up for a long amount of time, it will make them 60% more prone to bad illnesses.

peridot-pelt: peridot-pelt canines may light up their pelt in a tan color at will, and same with their eyes. peridot-pelted canines appear to have more slanted eyes, which doesn't help much with sight. a peridot-pelt's weakness is water, which can cause the same effects as a ruby-pelt in a dangerous situation.

sapphire-pelt: sapphire pelt canines can have a light-up blue pelt at will, and with the eyes as well. sapphire canines have better eyesight then any of the other canines, and their weakness is diamond-mutations, which are fairly common in nagarr, as.. yeah.
