Traits

Faithful Companion. The Black Hound has taken a liking to its owner. This creature will teleport to stay by its owner’s side, and will attack any creature that the owner commands, unless the Hound or its owner is under the effect of a Frightened debuff

Stealthy Hunter. The Black Hound has a higher surprise DC than normal when in an unfamiliar environment, and has advantage on its first turn if ambushed.

Terrifying Apparition. The Hound gains advantage on intimidation and stealth checks.

Actions

Action Name. Lunging Attack: The Hound jumps 5 feet and bites an enemy nearby (1ft attack radius). The Hound cannot do this if its movement speed is at zero.

Action Melee Attack. Bite: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 1 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage. 

Action Melee Attack. Scratch: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 1 (1d6) slashing damage.

Reactions

Cowering Posture. When near low health, the Hound attempts to run away. It will rejoin its owner if they survive the battle, but only when it thinks that the coast is clear.

Shape Changer. The Black Hound appears as a normal, coal-black dog outside of battle. Once in combat, however, it doubles in size and takes on a ghastly, hazy appearance.

Description

The Black Hound is a mythical beast that strikes terror in the hearts of its enemies.

Manifesting during dark rainstorms and eclipses, only those whose hearts are pure can even dream of taming a Black Hound.
