Axehandle Hound

Axehndle hounds  are a species of magical canines that originated   in North America, specifically   in Wisconsin and Minnesota,but have now spread worldwide.

Appearance
Axehandle hounds, just like their name states, are basically half-dog, half-axe, with a metal, axe-like/dog-like head, a long, thin, wooden body, short, stumpy legs, and another, smaller axe at the end of their tails.

Behavior
Axehandle hounds, like most other canines, tend to hang around in packs, consisting of an alpha male and his mate, their young, and a few other families. Females tend to have around 3-8 puppies in a litter. An axehandle hound feeds almost exclusively on wood, typically the wooden handles of axes left unattended (another reason to call them axehandle hounds). However, if there are no axe handles around, they can subsist on stray sticks and twigs they find lying around the forest. Also, they can and will feed on meat if they can find some. Though there are some packs living in the wild, quite a few axehandle hounds have been domesticated.
