In Azet, these jackals have bright white stripes in their fur and are known to guard the bodies of the dead from evil spirits and energies. They stand guard over anything they kill or any dead animal they come across for 24 hours before eating or otherwise interacting with it to make sure no corrupting influences reach it. Because of this, they are often sought out to guard tombs and graveyards. They are never tamed, but simply encouraged or lured in - once they are near enough to sense the dead, they instinctively protect their resting places.
