The Metal Dog Character

The Metal Dog is the most principled and uncompromising of all Dog variants. Metal sharpens the Dog's natural sense of justice into an absolute moral code. These Dogs have clear lines they will never cross and will never forgive others for crossing. They are the judges, the guardians, the moral compasses that do not bend.
