You summon a grotesque and fiendish dog whose very presence is unbearable to mortal minds. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This creature uses the Hideous Hound stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.
When you summon the hound, all creatures within 30 feet of it who can see it must make a Wisdom saving throw or take disadvantage on their next ability check, saving throw, or attack roll.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell’s level appears in the stat block.

Keen Hearing and Smell. The hound has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Pack Tactics. The hound has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the hound's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
Ugly as Sin. At the start of the each of the hound's turns, all creatures within 5 feet of it must make a Constitution saving throw (your spell save DC) or become incapacitated until the end of their next turn.
Actions
Multiattack. The hound makes a number of attacks equal to half this spell’s level (rounded down).
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2d6 + 3 + the spell’s level piercing damage + 1d6 force damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Bonus Actions
Grotesque Jaunt. The hound magically teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see. Then, the hound can spray a putrid liquid that covers a 5-foot square within 5 feet of it, which lasts until the end of its next turn. An affected creature's speed is halved in the area, and when the creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is grappled (Escape DC 13).
