A jackal

Jackals are territorial canines found in the deserts of Hammerfell and Elsweyr.

There are two types; jackals with a small silver coat and light beige undercoat, and jackals with a large silver coat and dark orange undercoat which have more health. The latter are often found with other jackals near them, and can also summon more themselves.
