Conjure Ashen Hound

An ashen hound is a huge wolf made up of ash from the funeral pyres of fallen soldiers and the the cold embrace of death itself.

You summon an ashen hound, which appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The hound disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The hound is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the hound, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to the hound, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. 

The ashen hound has the same stats as a Guardian Wolf, however it can only speak common, abyssal and deep speech.
