Description[]
Growler is a depiction of a futuristic muscle car shaped like a dog. The spikes on the engine and sides are meant to resemble a collar and the toothy grille is meant to resemble a mouth. The casting was changed in 2016; the base was changed slightly with the rear rivet's position being moved.
