Origin
With Reindog being an original character made specifically for MultiVersus, and with the game's plot not being fully revealed as of yet, not much is known about Reindog's origins. His official biography from the website reveals that he comes from the world of Zanifeer that was ruled by the royal Zanifeer family, to whom Reindog acted as their "Royal Guardian" and "long-lived protector". He's also described as being the "6th wearer of the gem of power", said gem being the heart-shaped crystal that floats above his head.

Official Biography
"Fluffy Guardian of Zanifeer’s royal family and 6th wearer of the gem of power!"

The world of Zanifeer was one of the first to fall victim to the Nothing during the great dimensional cataclysm. As far as most people knew, there were no survivors… except one. Reindog is a Royal Guardian - A long-lived protector of the Zanifeer royal family assigned to keep them safe. Although he looks fluffy and sweet, the heart of a warrior beats in his chest and he will do whatever it takes to protect those he loves. With the amazing powers from his gem he hopes that he can even find a way to bring back his beloved family.

Default Variant
Reindog's design, as his name implies, takes heavy inspiration from the anatomies of dogs (his overall body-shape, his long tail) and reindeers (his antlers). Some people have also identified Chinese Dragon-like elements in his design as well, such as the unorthodox shape of his head and his small whiskers that appear at both sides of his mouth, whiskers that neither reindeers nor dogs posses. He has green and beige fur, possibly in order to symbolize the theme of nature. Finally, Reindog's sports a floating heart-shaped gem, known as the gem of power, that floats above his head and in-between his antlers.

Trivia

 * However, this theory was disconfirmed when a TikTok posted on August 4th, 2022 confirmed that Reindog's voice line would eventually come to the game.
 * Reindog and Harley Quinn are the only originally revealed Fighters to not appear on the main title screen of the game.
