Pack Tactics. The cooshee has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the hound's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

Description
This creature appears as a large gray (with a slight greenish cast) and brown spotted hound (often with black markings) with slightly elven mixed with wolfish features. It has a long, curling tail and ears that taper to points above its head.
Organization: Solitary, pair, or pack (4–9)
Cooshees are large, 200+ pound, 4-foot tall at the shoulder hounds. They are known throughout the world as elven hounds, for their features combine those of fey and wolves and they are often found in the company of elves, who train them as guards. They bark only to warn their masters or other cooshees, but their bark can be heard clearly up to one mile away.
Cooshees attack by biting and tripping their foes. Once down, an opponent is held down and automatically clawed. A cooshee trained as a guard can hold a person down until help comes; wild cooshees are more likely to tear the foe to pieces.
These dogs are also legendary for their ability to race like the wind in almost perfect silence. This is how cooshees launch most attacks; they begin their charge from so far away that they either haven’t been spotted yet or their intended victims believe they’re safe. If the cooshees weren’t spotted before they charged, odds are they’ll be among their foes and attacking without anyone hearing their approach.
