Hound of Darkwatch
Among the moors that run between the Ridgewood and the Fens roam the fearsome creatures known as the Hounds of Darkwatch. Their origins unknown, they are so named for the tower Darkwatch which sits upon the ridge overlooking the moors and the forest road.
Nearly 6 feet tall at the shoulder, the muscular greyish-black Hound resembles a giant mastiff made up of rotting leaves, vegetation, brush, mud, sticks, and peat. A strange combination of undeath and construct, its eyes glow with an eerie algae green and its razor sharp fangs drip with a thick sap-like venom. Its paws are more like a cat's than a dogs, and its retractable claws are deadly. It has but a stub for a tail.
