Appearance

Above its eyes, small brown eyebrows are shown to give it a more angry look. It has a small tuft of hair on its head, wide ears with a charcoal black color inside them and small specs of said color above it, and a small sprout of extra fur on its right ear. It has a collar of pitch black fur around its neck, light orange fur on its belly, a black zigzag pattern with tiny dots on both its hind and forelegs, and a black tail that resembles coal.

Origin
Shefash is based off of a German Shepherd puppy, and has a few similarities to coal, a type of rock used for fuel that is mainly used in fires (hence its Fire/Rock typing). Its name is a combination of "shepherd" (although the "ph" is replaced with an "f"), and "ash".
