Camouflage. The cú sidhe has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks when in forested terrain.
Fey Ancestry. The cú sidhe has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put it to sleep.
Keen Hearing and Smell. The cú sidhe has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Pack Tactics. The cú sidhe has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the cú's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
Sprint. Once per minute, the cú sidhe can move 4x its current speed for 1 round.
Dominate. A cú sidhe that has its opponent prone and restrained, makes it very difficult for that foe to stand up again. To stand up, the creature must escape the pin, which requires success on a DC 12 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. If the creature fails its attempt to break free, it takes automatic Bite damage.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) piercing damage. If the target is a medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone and then restrained. See the animal's Dominate trait for this.
Description
Cú Sidhe, also known as elven dogs, are large canids normally found in the forests frequented by wood elves. They are most commonly encountered in the company of elves and rarely on their own. They are slightly larger than a wolf, typically weighing between 100 and 175 pounds, but longer legged like a wolfhound, with huge, heavily-clawed paws. Their coarse coat is a brown and green merle or brindle, making them hard to spot in their native environment.
Wood elves typically use cú sidhe as guard animals and hunting companions. Cú sidhe only bark to warn their masters of danger, and their bark can be heard up to a mile away.
