Devil's Sight. Magical darkness doesn't impede the Corrupted Dog's darkvision.
Keen Hearing and Smell. The Corrupted Dog has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Pack Tactics. The Corrupted Dog has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the Corrupted Dog's allies is within 5 ft. of the creature and the ally isn't
incapacitated.
Spider Climb. The Corrupted Dog can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Multiattack. The Corrupted Dog makes two attacks: one with its Bite and one with its Claws
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: -6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1 d6 + 3) slashing damage.
Climbing Horrors. Not content chasing their prey on foot, these Corrupted Dogs have the ability to scale walls, and even run upside down to get new angles to take down their targets.
Killing For Sport. Flesh that enters Corrupted Hounds simply falls out their exposed abdomens. More often than not, these creatures kill and leave the corpses to rot, not interested in sustenance. Corrupted Pigs hang around packs of these monsters to eat the scraps they clearly don’t need.
Description
Acting more as kill squads than defenders or hunting animals, these Corrupted Dogs pursue those in their territory with ruthless intent. Any person not part of the corruption can look forward to nothing more than a violent, bloody attack from a pack of these hideous creatures.
“The pack quickly moved past the beasts in the butcher shop only to be greeted by another group of monstrosities further on. A scream pierced through the empty roads of Perameridian. Astrid signaled her crew to follow her with haste. With great purpose the pack sprinted toward the noise. When looking down an alleyway where the sound originated, the crew found the source of this wailing. A man wandering the streets was cornered by a pack of feral dogs. However these dogs were unlike any other the pack had seen. Chests burst open with horrific jaws protruding out, guts hanging out from under their abdomens. The man swiped and kicked at the hounds but to no avail, the beasts quickly tore the man to shreds, ripping out the throat and leaving the corpse to rot. The hellish hounds eyed the pack and began pursuit. Astrid and her pack fled deeper into the city ”
