a-un

On-Yomi: ハク

Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 6-10-2007(34): From the pack of wild dogs only white ones are chosen to be a-un (to guard the temple).

2) [herman] 29-5-2009(7): Statues of a-un dogs always have pigeons hovering around, so they end up all covered in white stuff.

3) [billyclyde] 8-10-2007(3): (These are the lion-dog guards at the front of temples.) And they're always made of WHITE marble depicting the a-un eating a PACK OF WILD DOGS.

4) [dihutenosa] 2-8-2008(2): The a-un are special lion-dogs that protect the palacial estates of certain mafia bosses. In order to make a perfect a-un, one grabs a whole pack of dogs (you need two for each entrance (and you know mafia spreads have plenty of gateways), so you'd best get a pack for the best deal!) and cover them in several layers of white - i.e., cocaine. Keep doing this and it will eventually petrify them, and you can place them by your gateways. Plus, if you're ever out of cash - easy drug stash.

5) [astridtops] 1-9-2006(1): The a-un in front of this temple are a pack of dogs (well, a pair of dogs to be precise), that are white coloured.
