Colmillos are dogs which have become host to Plaga parasites and turned feral.

Physical biology[]

Colmillo's colmillos 3

An example of the extent of dental abnormality.

As a result of parasitisation, the teeth have grown or have been replaced with larger teeth, either of which being unusual for a canine.[1][excerpt 1] The level of development is enough that they cannot properly close their jaws.[1] Colmillos can be identified in the night by their highly-reflective tapetum lucidum, a tissue which covers the eye, which glows green in low-light conditions. The spine of Colmillos suffer from deformities as a result of the parasite's growth in the abdomen, and in a situation where a Colmillos is threatened the Plaga is liable to inflict serious injury by tearing open the skin so its bladed tentacles can be used as a weapon.[1]

Behaviour[]

As dogs are natural pack animals, they are known to adapt to parasitism much easier than humans.[1] When attacking prey, Colmillos tend to attack in groups, with one going for the throat while another flanks them.

  1. Except from biohazard 4 kaitaishinsho, p.111: "プラーガに寄生された犬。 同化によって牙が口内に収まらないほど異常発達しており、 俊敏な動作で獲物のノド笛に食らいつく。 さらには体内の寄生体までが、 宿主の身体を突き破って無数の触手を伸ばし、 攻撃を仕掛けてくる。 宿主がもともと群れを作る動物であるためか、 プラーガを介した行動のコントロールは極めて安定しており、 数匹の集団で標的を襲うのも特徴。".
