Supposedly coming from the same realms as the Hellhound, the Shadowhound differentiates itself by relying on stealth rather than pure attack. When it has time to acclimate to an area, it will create a veil of pure shadow in it. The area will become pitch black, so much so that adventurers will not even be able to see the torch they are holding in front of them. The last thing they are likely to see is the flames sprouting around the lips of the beast as they prepare for the kill. That is likely too late, meaning that adventurers are advised to keep their other senses open whenever darkness overtakes them. Instinct: To stealthily kill.

• Bites with jaws of fire
• Create an area of shadow
• Sense the life essence of prey.
