Malice Hound

"I heard the cackling first, and then saw the 30 eyes watching me from the edge of the firelight." - Orovian Traders

Few creatures in the world hold as much hatred as these. Within the wastes of Orovia, the traveling traders and roaming cities atop the large dinosaurs or large caravans speak of the dunes howling at night. These are the creatures they speak of during these dark times. Roving in large packs, cackling, screaming, and howling, and horrific manifestation of the corruption of Orovia, the nature of wolves being native to the demonic plane, and insatiable hunger the world is akin to, these creatures are not the apex predators of Orovia, but certainly can take down anything larger than them easily.
