Devoutly loyal to and ferociously protective of those he loves, human and animal alike, Ig has no quarrels with physical contact when it comes to threats. When danger does arise, he's quick to act, his first instinct being to shield his companions until they can escape safely. Under calmer circumstances, he's a gentle giant with a heart of gold. He's not easily angered or irritated and is known to play with pups and children when no work or training is placed on him. With closer companions, he will often curl around them when he's at rest and loves nothing more than to be a lap-tokota, though most people are quick to move out from beneath his crushing weight.
