A jet-black breed of Tiger with silky fur and strange tattoos on its flanks. Its name has changed several times throughout the series, but its design has stayed relatively the same. Most recently, its name was changed back to something more child-friendly as an ironic joke, after being named Terror Dog for so long.
Etymology[]
Originally named velvet, a soft synthetic material that feels much like fur.
Later named for its terrifying looks.
Its third name comes from black licorice, the root of a plant used as a sweetener and candy.
Its Japanese name is Terādoggu.
