Description
An unnatural hybrid species likely descended from a mage's rogue experiment, the cobra hound bears the hooded neck and head of an ebony snake rising from scaled body of a lean jackal. It roams in shallow desert caverns and dense jungles. Though rare and exceptionally difficult to tame, they are occasionally used as yuan-ti guard dogs or as exotic pets among primitive tribes, wasteland vagabonds, and assassins.
