Traits

Keen Hearing and Smell. The chronohound has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Temporal Attunement. The chronohound has advantage on saving throws against Transmutation spell effects.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (3d4 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Warping Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or have it's speed reduced by half. 

Expeditious Howl. (1/Encounter) The chronohound lets out a howl that echos across the local timestream, bending it slightly to it's whim. The chronowolf gains the effect of the Haste spell on itself. This effect can be dispelled, but cannot be counterspelled. 

Disruptive Howl. (1/Encounter) The chronohound lets out a howl at a single creature that disrupts their local flow of time. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or gain the effect of the Slow spell on itself. This effect can be dispelled, but cannot be counterspelled. As per Slow, the creature may repeat the Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of it's turns, ending the effect on a success.

 

Reactions

Timewarp. When the chronohound takes damage, it may take the Disengage action and move up to it's speed as a reaction.

 

Description

A strange monstrosity created by an ancient magus, the chronohound is a mutated offshoot of the wolf imbued with natural magical aptitude and the enhanced intellect to utilize it effectively. They are ruthless and efficient pack hunters that can manipulate the flow of time on a localized scale to take down far stronger prey than any normal wolfpack ever could.

Originally created to be tame but powerful guardians, so many chronohounds escaped captivity centuries ago that a sizable population has grown in the wild. Packs of chronohounds claiming territory near settlements has been the cause of many odd disruptions in local space-time, leading to them becoming common marks for adventurers looking for work.
