Feist (dog)

A Feist (or Feisty) is a type of small hunting dog, developed via crossbreeding of various other hunting breeds in the rural southern United States.

Description

Feists generally are small (shorter than 18 inches/45 cm, and weigh less than 30 lbs/14 kg), short-coated dogs with long legs and a pointed (snipy) nose. The ears set high on the head and are button, erect, or short hang ears. Traditionally the tail is a natural bobtail or docked. As Feists are bred for hunting, not as show dogs, there is little to no consistency in appearance (breed type), and they may be purebred, crossbred, or mixed breed dogs. They are identified more by the way they hunt and their size than by their appearance.

Individual dogs can hunt in more than one way, but in general, feists work above ground to chase small prey, especially squirrels. This contrasts with terriers or Dachshunds, earthdogs that go to ground to kill or drive out the prey, usually rodents, European rabbits, foxes, or badgers. Most feists have an extreme drive to chase rabbits, squirrels, and all rodents.

Phantom (Kamen Rider)

Phantoms (ファントム, Fantomu) are the fictional antagonists that appear in the 2012-2013 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Wizard. Each Phantom has a form based on a monster from various mythologies, able to assume a human form modeled after their original human selves.

Background

Phantoms are born whenever humans with magic potential, known as Gates (ゲート, Gēto), give in to despair. From there, the created Phantom proceeds to tear down the host's Underworld (精神世界<アンダーワールド>, Andāwārudo), the subconscious of the human, before destroying the host itself. Able to assume its host's form, yet lacking few human aspects like sense of taste, a Phantom sometimes would fully assume its original self's identity until called to seek out a Gate and place that human deep in despair to repeat the cycle. A Kamen Rider can stop the emergence of Phantoms by using an Engage Wizard Ring to enter a Gate's underworld when it is being torn apart, and prevent Phantoms from destroying the host's Underworld by destroying the Phantoms from within, with the said host made a normal human afterwards. Their ultimate goal is gather enough numbers so their leader Wiseman can re-enact an unknown ritual known only as "The Sabbath". But in reality, the Phantoms are only a by-product of the Sabbath which is actually the siphoning of magical energies from Gates to infuse into a Philosopher's Stone.
