Description

Hound archons were the guardians of the first and second layers of Celestia. They were considered by scholars to be the first "true" archons. While typically associated with the gods of the House of the Triad, they were also particularly favored as servants of the halfling god Urogalan. They were one of the most common archons summoned to the Material Plane, and their duties sometimes permitted them to travel to other realms to interact with their inhabitants. 

Hound archons appeared as powerfully built Humanoids with canine heads, with broad shoulders and massive, powerful fists. Hound archons had similarly strong legs—a silent warning to foes that a hound archon was also swift on its feet, and if they fled, they would not get far.
All hound archons could be observed wearing simple metal collars about their necks. This collar was not actual metal; it was a mystical representation of the archon's rank within the hierarchy of the archons of Celestia and could not be removed.
