Thornhounds are a species of plant-like aliens featured in Protector of Earth.
Appearance[]
Thornhounds are green plant-based aliens with a dog-like appearance, having four legs, no visible eyes, a long tail, and a body covered with thorns, hence their name.
More mature Thornhounds, such as Thornhound Aggressors, have more pronounced thorns and a large purple frill extending from their mouths.
Thornhoud Chargers are brown, with yellow face, light brown spikes and two long tusks that are near their mouths.
Description[]
Thornhounds are a species of mutant crocodiles fused with plant DNA, serving as soldiers under the command of Dragon Weed. Unlike the peaceful Marceroots, Thornhounds are aggressive and predominantly carnivorous.
Powers and Abilities[]
Thornhounds ppossess enhanced agility and speed, although not on the level of XLR8, allowing them to strike quickly and with precision. They have powerful biting strength, referred to as a "super bite." Additionally, they are capable of phytokinesis—the ability to control plant matter. Some variations of Thornhounds exhibit upgraded or age-dependent abilities, becoming more dangerous as they mature.
