A creature that is part dog and part something else; a hybrid between a dog and another being.
From demi- (half) + dog (a canine animal). A whimsical term that could describe mythological creatures or literal dog-human hybrids.
Mythology is full of these—from Cerberus the three-headed dog to the werewolves and dog-headed saints in medieval art. This one word captures the whole creative tradition of asking 'what if a dog was also something else?'
