On occasion the [[Travesty]] will drop an oddly colored [[Power Crystal]] with what appears to be a dog inside. The one who uses this item will shatter it, releasing the creature which will instantly [[Pet Bonding|bond]] to him/her as a [[pet]].

Although the imprisoned version shares the vital statistics of any other [[Dog]], it has one extra ability - It will, on occasion, randomly shape shift into the form of ''any'' creature within a short range. It will only revert to its original appearance if [[Death|killed]] or [[Stable|stabled]].

When mimicking a [[character]], the Imprisoned Dog will also create copies of the equipment worn. The new items will be of the same color as the originals but lack any additional properties.

As an example, if a character holding [[The Redeemer]] is cloned, the dog will hold a standard [[Paladin Sword]] of the same color instead. It may then use this item in combat, and also gains [[resistances]] from any armor it should obtain (these resistances are not lost should it change to a non-character type form).

Unlike a [[Changeling]], the creature cannot mimic the skills of characters. It is currently unknown as to whether the creature is capable of training extra combat skills through the use of weapons and shields. It is incapable of firing a bow as it can hold no ammo.

On release, Imprisoned Dogs disappear.

==Exploit==
At some stage or other there was a bug that allowed players to duplicate items using an Imprisoned Dog. This author is unsure as to how this was done, which items were duped and when it was eventually patched out, but I'd assume pets holding [[Paladin Sword]]s were [[Disarm|disarmed]] and then [[Stealing|robbed]].

Although Imprisoned Dogs in [[Human]]/[[Elves|Elven]] forms do have backpacks which can be [[Snooping|snooped]], they can hold no items in them and cannot be disarmed.
