Fan Casting Telenine in Fictional Characters by Subeta Pets They'd Have

Once a witty, wild pack animal, telenines used their large canine teeth to bring down huge prey. While they were not the swiftest runners, they worked seamlessly in a group to corner their kill, and their teeth were enough to break the neck of just about any animal. The spines on the telenine's back, made out of a hard, bone-like material, served as an extra defense from pounding hooves or sharp claws. This way of hunting changed quite a bit when humans moved into their habitat. Curious by nature, the wild telenines slowly started to approach the newcomers, who were all too delighted to share scraps of food with them. Soon, telenines were sitting around the fire, being pet and scratched and enjoying cooked food. Over the course of the next hundred years, telenines slowly lost their wild urges, and soon they were scarcely found in the wild. It is a puzzle to many that they never lost their overgrown canines - which serve very little purpose these days! - though they have shrunk considerably since then.
