kirjell

Kirjell is a fictional species featured in the role-playing game Planescape. They are depicted as quadrupedal creatures with a shaggy, dark coat and a pronounced snout. Kirjells are known for their keen sense of smell and their territorial nature, often found guarding valuable resources or hidden locations within the game's multiverse. Their origins are unclear, with some lore suggesting they are native to the plane of Limbo, while others posit they were created or warped by magical forces.

In terms of behavior, Kirjells are typically solitary and aggressive towards intruders. They possess sharp claws and teeth, making them formidable opponents in combat. Despite their ferocity, they are not inherently evil, and their actions are primarily driven by instinct and a desire to protect their territory. Some individuals or factions within the Planescape setting may attempt to tame or control Kirjells, using them as guard beasts or for their unique sensory abilities. Their presence often indicates a dangerous or significant area, and encountering one is a clear warning to proceed with caution. Their role in the game's narrative is often that of an environmental hazard or a guardian of a specific quest objective.
