Alt - WW1 Sweeper Team Concept.

Team consists of a sapper, or trench expert and a "sweeper" A large mustelid creature fully capable and willing to break bones and tear limbs.

A Sapper is heavily armored for both frontline protection, and when his sweeper gives him some trouble (hence neck reinforcement just incase.) When not in service, Sappers take care of their Sweepers but are required to carry them in cages when transporting to avoid any mishaps.

Sweepers are large mustelid like creatures fiercely loyal once reared, but not above causing trouble. Capable of slipping through tunnels, trench works, and no-mans land with equal ease they are often employed to root out snipers. While their main function is the protection of the trench crews (and carrying messages) Particularly large specimens are not only capable of maiming enemies but breaking bones and ripping off limbs, their vice-like constriction aided by the edges of their plates to cause serious and often fatal wounds. Many a sniper has learned to fear the telltale clinking of a sweepers plate armor as it crawls over the battlefield to find them.
