Chasing a Moon

Considering that i've still a few more concepts to post up here, i might as well do another post.  that, and it's late and i'm still awake :s


The steed of my protagonist.  i came up with an idea to have a mount for the main character, much like in Shadow of the Colossus, but rather a horse, i decided to make a warg (i.e. giant wolf) instead.

So i came up with this: an almost extinct species of Greater Warg called a Sabre Hound.  it turned out to look less like a wolf, but i kinda like it that way; makes it look more distinct.  it's roughly the size of a horse, but fully matured adults can grow 2-3 times larger with their tails splitting to form two and the hairs on their forelegs doubling in length.  its tail and maine can be hardened when the creature is aggravated, creating blades (hence the name).


I decided to call the creature 'Hati', which stems from Norse Mythology about a wolf that chases the moon.  i believe the word literally translates to mean 'hate'.

Though primarily hostile, the one in my film is very loyal to the protagonist.  the relationship between the two is one of master and servant, but only in the eyes of the creature.  the protagonist sees it more as a partner he can rely on and treats it as a friend than a servant.
