Description
A Shadow Hound is a creature of shifting darkness, its form never fully solid. Its sleek, wolf-like body appears to be made of swirling shadows and mist, with glowing crimson eyes that pierce the darkness. When it moves, it leaves behind a faint trail of inky blackness, and its growls resonate like whispers on the edge of hearing. Its fangs glimmer faintly as though forged from shadows turned to steel, and its claws leave behind faint scorch marks on stone.
