The canid creature had a large sheild and a sword through its abdomen. It seemed to be missing an arm and its maw was littered with jagged sharp teeth that reminded her of the stalagmites and stalagtites in caves.

The girl steps closer to the beast while it was being unnaturally still, only its long fur blowing in the wind.

The creature’s head whips to face her direction. She can now tell just how uncanny this being is, staring at her without even havign visible eyes.

It bends over and sniffs in her direction, limping closer with its lower legs quivering every step.

She steps to the side, and its head follows. It’s neck seems to be extending faster than it can step forward. She can now hear it breathing it’s gotten so close.

The girl looks around for a way to escape. The only place she can find is the tunnel she walked out of earlier, but it was so dark in there, and if this thing followed her in there, it’d sniff her out in no time.

She looks beyond the narrowing cliff the dog was perched upon, and that dark figure from when she first left the ruins stood there.

The figure didnt move. It looks as if it was just watching her.

The beast’s face grew closer to her, a metre away, a foot, a few inches... it stopped. Frose in its place, legs no longer trembling, and its nose no longer breathing.

It springs back to its upright posture in the blink of an eye, and she falls backwards in a flight response, landing in a pile of snow.  The beast reveals its calws on its one remaining hand, stained with dirt, dust, and blood. It finally reveals its eyes which were hidden underneath its white fur. They’re glossed over looking straight forward, above her head. She tries to get up, but her whole body is being enveloped in snow. The beast throws it’s sheild to the ground and takes a step forward, but freezes again.

A single thin bone appears from the floor, impailing the canid beast through it’s neck, and it’s eyes close once again as at’s body goes limp, hanging off the bone which somehow holds up the creature’s body weight.

The figure steps froward across the bridge that linked the cliffs together. And it put’s it’s hand out to help her up.

MONSTER BIOLOGY:
Lesser Dog: A short, boney canid beast with legs that end in bone as thin as twigs. It has trouble walking upright, and often has broken limbs from the stress of carrying it's own wight, plus it's armour.

Almost all of them are pierced with a blade or some sort of weapon, from past attempts to kill them.

Their claws are long and powerful if they're able to get a swipe off, but the slightest bit og resistance from solid armour would protect one's body from them easily.

Their mouths are littered with long thin teeth, keeping their mouths locked open in a perpetual smile, and it's glossy eyes aren't able to make anything out. Not even light.
