Dogs of Tibetan Legends
The 11th century scholar, Mahmud ibn Hussayn ibn Muhammed al-Kashgari, spoke of strange legend found in the Diwan which concerns the baraq, or shaggy dog. Turks claimed that when a vulture grows old, it lays two eggs. When hatched, one of the eggs produces a dog called Baraq, the swiftest of...

Interesting, Tibetian Mastiff guardians were thought to be Raksasas in disguise. Basically shapeshfting deva-demons
Rakshasa - Wikipedia
Rakshasas were most often depicted as shape-shifting, fierce-looking, enormous monstrous-looking creatures, with two fangs protruding from the top of the mouth and having sharp, claw-like fingernails. They were shown as being mean, growling beasts, and as insatiable man-eaters that could smell the scent of human flesh. Some of the more ferocious ones were shown with flaming red eyes and hair, drinking blood with their cupped hands or from human skulls (similar to representations of vampires in later Western mythology). Generally they could fly, vanish, and had maya (magical powers of illusion), which enabled them to change size at will and assume the form of any creature.

bipedal/quad combination has been ruled out already. Needs to be purely quad.An interchangeable bipedal/quad canine race would suit Moose, as long as he still looks like himself. I'm thinking a pack support traits, and loyalty traits. Constitution bonuses.. Interchangable thumbs so he can operate items now. Or maybe go MyPony route and straight up soft telekinesis.. Or prehensile tail or clear use of snout and tongue to operate items.
It'd be really interesting to see the Paladin class Eaglejarl wanted to try out. If he already has racial pack bonus then stuff like aura could mesh really well with that.

Also.. Since he's already a Tibetian Mastiff - he'd qualify for something eastern like Inugami?

The more I look into it, it just keeps getting better and better..
Edit: Sure, a purely quad rakshasha then who prefers that form than bipedal one.. The tiger aesthetic shifted to the mastiff aesthetic as an homage to his orginal self.

How about a Rakshaka demi-god? A mutt of a rakshaka and a Saint Bernard, or whatever Moose was prior

My fellow questers, it is with a heavy heart that I implore you to vote for catkin Leo and wizard supremacist Drew. It is in the nature of quests to take risks, how can we deny our nature? If we pull that off we can have the aesthetic of legendary cats and dogs playing together, two super strong front line fighters to protect the GigaChad Drew build! We can have it all ladies, gentlemen, and those not identified by either. Additionally, if we ever want to take wizard supremacist for the benefits, it will be far easier to do it earlier than later.
Live our best lives, vote for the gacha and OP class!

I wonder if the threat of conflict with the Zree would afford a measure of protection against Borant. Malign attention from the show runners would likely be opposed by the AI and could result in a lawsuit. The Zree appear to be rather rich while, at least according to canon, Borant is running the crawl because they are near bankruptcy and need the money badly. The Zree may well hire a lawyer for us or take other measures to influence the court to rule in the AI's favor.
This is interesting. In canon, Donut, who came into the dungeon as a house cat and chose to remain a cat in race selection, has become party leader. This means that, if they win the crawl, the fate of humanity will be decided by a cat. If your plan were adopted, our party would have representatives for human, cat, and dog. This would be kinda, sorta like Lord of the Rings where they chose the members of The Fellowship to include all the major races. Cats and dogs are kind of like elves and dwarves in that they are both friends of humans but not so much of each other.

In all fairness, here's a relevant Discord post made by eaglejarl.
-"Levi did say to avoid gods if at all possible. On the other hand (metaknowledge), there are some gods with minimal demands on you and decent advantages. The concern is that gods can issue mandatory quests to their worshipers, so that's always a hidden landmine."

IIRC eaglejarl's very next message was the name of a canon God whose demands could be considered "minimal". That God was seen to impose multiple super-hard unavoidable quests to his worshippers, will kill you if you attempt to go past a certain layer without doing the quests, and also demands a tithe + not to harm your fellow worshippers (even though mobs can be worshippers).
I don't consider that "minimal", and although we're all allowed to have different perspectives on what is acceptable I'm also allowed to vote against any option that entangles us with Gods.

Rude if they are voting for another (Drew) option. Fine if they have not + their vote is super old and they may not be aware of the current voting system.
If there is a new development and you have arguments for them i wouldn't consider it rude.
If you are spamming them because they are voting in a way you don't like that would be rude. Depending on the severity i'd consider it reason to report posts and let the mods deal with it. (but that would really be for spammy mentioning)
Only one of them has a (Drew) vote at all, and two of them voted on Thursday. I'm still going to wait a little to get arguments, but I am now leaning towards tagging at least the four that haven't voted for Drew.
I'm much more hesitant about tagging the one still voting for TV Psychic.

Well, since we're dropping canon knowledge, let's set the record straight: the god in question makes the following standard demands:
- Put 5% of your looted gold into his shrine each time you loot
- Put a drop of your blood into his shrine once per day
- Don't kill his worshippers
- Complete all church quests
One data point: it wouldn't bother me so long as it came with an explanation of "your chosen option is probably going to lose and here is how to make it win if you want."
