Description

Companion hounds are canines with a particular affinity for hunting, exploring, combat, and other dungeon-delving activities. Typically created from strays that are found on the streets by mages or clerics, these dogs are magically enhanced and then put up for adoption, at which point they usually join a band of adventurers.
