Laika puppies are very large, though still smaller than a direwolf pup, and incredibly playful and energetic. Magi caring for a laika puppy must devote a lot of time at first to feeding it and playing with it enough to tire it out, or its energy might get channeled into destructive behavior. Once trained enough to be mindful of its size and strength, and grown enough to feed itself by calling down clouds to eat, laika puppies make excellent playmates for young children, with their incredible softness, their eagerness to play, and their ability to project a calming aura. As such, the fluffy pups are a common sight at schools and other places with lots of children.
Often called cloud eaters due to both their diet and the clouds that gather around them wherever they go, dawn laikas are huge dogs that never stop growing. Legends claim that they can grow as large as a mountain, though this has never been verified. However, they do grow large enough that adults generally do not stay at the Keep, preferring to forge off on their own. Laikas subsist mostly on clouds, literally calling them down from the sky to eat, and what they don't eat swirls around them in a colorful, fascinating miasma. However, they have been known to hunt for and eat meat on occasion. Laikas can live for a very long time, long enough that their maximum lifespan is unknown. Magi speculate that the adult laikas may be capable of becoming incorporeal, and that is why despite laika being large and seemingly plentiful, running into one unexpectedly is an uncommon occurrence.
