Introduction

A Fenhound is a manifestation of a guardian or avenging spirit. These departed souls have been reborn into the cycle as fierce hounds and are created from the aether and materials of the land which ties them. A Fenhound will act intelligently to defend in it's new life everything which it held dear in it's past life.

Feeding Habits

Fenhounds live primarily on meat, although will only hunt enough to sustain themselves. The need to eat is only important because it helps them defend the grounds which they have claimed.

Disposition and Social Habits

Fenhounds are solitary creatures. They have been known to befriend adventurers who are working to defend their territories, however they should never be confused with a docile or tame animal.

Habitat

Fenhounds can usually be found near the remains of battlefields or over destroyed holy sites. The spirits having sped through the cycle to be reborn and continue their fight in life.

Fylgia

Most compatible: Dire Wolf

• A Fenhound is physically very similar to a Dire Wolf or a Wolf, however that is where all similarities end. There are no known Fyglia which might be better suited to describing their nature.

Other notes

While a Fenhound understands what location or ideal it was defending in it's past life, It lacks the higher reasoning to understand why. As such Fenhounds are occasionally tricked into acts they never would have performed in life.

A Fenhounds first tactic is to try and Howl to scare away any creatures who come to disturb what it is protecting. Their will in death has also seen that their hides are exceptionally resilient so that they are unlikely to fail in their duties when they are reborn. Finally they are exceptionally alert creatures able to detect some of the slightest movements, evading a Fenhound near their chose ground is no easy task.
