Huskar (hus-ker (IPA: hʌskɜr))

Daniel's Logbook Entry:
Huskar have a wide variety of colors. The enlarged spikes on its chest are icicles developed over time. The older the Spirit, the greater the amount of icicles. They communicate with yips and howls. They can also portray thoughts to another by touching them with its marble, which is the source of its power. By touching the marbles to its target, Huskar can take over the minds of any victims with weak willpower. They are proud Spirits that run tirelessly through cold weather, preferring to do only things that benefit them.   Fortunately for me, Arden is large enough I could ride her like a horse. I hate walking.  
— Daniel Carona

Basic Information

Anatomy

Huskars can pass as wolves save for a few exceptions: Adult huskars are much larger and measure at 48–68 inches (122–173 cm) at the shoulder, some weighing over 300 lbs. They carry a thick mane mostly around their chest area which look like icicles. From their shoulders sprout two antennae, each tipped with a glorious marble.

These would be useful animals to have, as mounts and scouts.   Did you possibly forget to include something about colors? Maybe in the sidebar? I wasn't sure what you meant by "Huskar can have a wide variety of colors. The ones displayed are the most common variations."
