Abythian Hound

Originating from the eternal darkness of Abythos, packs of the intelligent fire-breathing monsterous canines, known as Abythian Hounds, sometimes find their way to the surface of Tel from the Miasmatic Planes to hunt and torment all whom they encounter.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Abythian Hounds resemble large, yet emaciated, hairless hunting dogs. Their skin has the appearance of being charred and blackened. While alive, they are surrounded by an aura of flame that is hot enough to severely burn those foolish enough to attempt to touch them. Their skeletal heads possess a fang-filled snout, above which are set two large eyes that glow like embers.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

As creatures of Abythos, they are able to see in conditions of complete darkness. Abythian Hounds also possess a keen sense of smell and are able to track prey through scent over many leagues.
