Editing Bastard (section)

==Appearance and Powers==
As a small puppy he is considered adorable by most humans ignorant of what he can do.<ref name="I21.y e1">The girl entered the room, two large dogs flanking her, the wolf cub trailing behind, unmodified by her powers.  The young American bulldog, still not fully grown, an older pitbull that bore the scars of old dogfights.  The wolf cub was comparatively small.  ''Adorable''.  Adorable and capable of turning into a murder machine the size of a pony. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/interlude-21/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.y]]</ref>

He is more responsive to her powers than her usual dogs, his bone and muscle growth more symmetrical and less grotesque.<!--cite bitches interlude--> However this also makes it nigh impossible to ride him.<ref name="13.3 e1">I hopped down and grabbed Bitch as Bastard came back to us.  He growled as I approached, but he didn’t protest as I took Bitch into my arms and dragged her back toward Grue and Sirius.<br/>[...]<br/>I looked at Bastard.  Too small to ride.  He was the size of a pony, but he wasn’t built for riding in the same way, and the spikes and bony plates that covered him were too densely packed for me to find any sort of flat patch to sit on.  I reached for the chain that trailed from his muzzle.<br/><br/>He growled again, vicious.<br/><br/>I was taken aback for half a second.  Then anger set in.  I barked, “Enough!” and I snatched up the chain.<br/><br/>He growled again, and I hauled on it.  The way it was rigged, it looped around his snout so it would tighten around the end of his nose when the chain was pulled.  It was like a choke collar, but focused more on the sensitive snout than on the throat.  He recoiled and tried to pull away, and I tugged again.<br/><br/>This time, he went still, resisting less. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/04/snare-13-3/ Excerpt] from [[Snare 13.3]]</ref>
