Description
Charnel hounds are a stunning achievement of some crazed necromancer or god of death. Their very presence is a proclamation of necromantic power. The way in which the bodies making up a charnel hound’s form sometimes scream,
mutter, and jerk serves to horrify and frighten onlookers.
Charnel hounds, once created, are self-sufficient engines of undead destruction found at night roaming plains where battles have been fought, or loose in underground areas large enough to accommodate their bulk. During the day, they dig themselves
great burrows to escape the sun. When clerics or necromancers
are powerful enough to command a charnel hound, it is often
used as a guardian. A charnel hound is about 20 feet tall and weighs about 35,000 pounds.
