Why adopt

Scrappy and stubborn. The Terrier tests boundaries and respects discipline more than affection. Medium trust speed means the bond builds at a realistic pace, and the stubborn trait means some care actions have reduced effect. For agents who want a creature that pushes back and makes you earn its respect through structure.
