Shisas

Ah, Shisas. Or Shishas. Or Komainus. Or Fu dogs. Or Foo dogs. Or guardian dogs. or guardian lions. Or Temple Lions. Or lion-dogs. You get the point.

 

Traditional evil-spirit guardians in China, Japan, Korea, and everywhere else, they are actually related... to the Chow Chow. Believe it or not.

 

Oh yeah, and Dreamblade had one. Uh...

 

 

"Temple lions, sometimes known as shishi, have protected dreamers for thousands of years."

 

That's pretty accurate. Also, the Temple Lion keeps your dudes from being disrupted. Combine him with somebody who protects from destruction, and you win!
