Magic Crafters - Spyro Fan Forum

As a kid I thought they were dogs. These days I just call them “filler”.

Well, there are a kind of doglike species.....

Maybe. But also, look at their tails. Pretty undoglike. Unless they’re clipped off, most dog tails are pointy. https://the-legend-of-spyro.fandom.com/w..._Tier1.png
My mind keeps jumping to rat when I see their tails.

I now headcanon that most Skavengers are Epicyons, an extinct, canid genus of the subfamily Borophaginae. It's the closest animal I could find that the Skavengers bear some resemblance to.
