Point Value: 975These hound-like creatures are normally encountered on the Plane of Shadow. In their natural habitat, they roam in packs or are used as trained guard beasts.As their name would suggest, shadow hounds appear as dark, black shadows of a canine form. Their eyes glow with a fiery radiance that sends a chill to the very soul of anyone looking at them. When they attack with their vicious teeth, their mouths produce the same fiery radiance as their eyes.Combat: Like dogs and wolves of the Prime Material Plane, shadow hounds attack in packs using their powerful jaws to drag a prey off of its feet. Once down, the hounds swarm over the prey and devour it mercilessly. In shadowy conditions (Plane of Shadow, moonlight, etc.) a shadow hound is a terrible foe. It can strike and then blend with the shadows so that it is 40% unlikely to be seen. However, in bright light it loses 50% of its movement and cannot use shadows for concealment. Regardless of lighting, +1 or better weapons are needed to harm these beasts.Habitat/Society: Shadow hounds, like wolves, are sociable creatures and travel around in packs. The structure of the pack is very strict; there is only one leader and every other shadow hound knows its place and duties.The lair of a pack of shadow hounds is 50% likely to contain 2-7 whelps. These young will not fight but can be taken and trained. A shadow hound whelp can sell for 200-700 gold pieces.Originally appeared in Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor Rule Book (1993).</blockquote>
