Hounds of the night are bred by the shadow fey for use as hunting companions and guardians, and they excel at both tasks. Far more intelligent than other hounds, they are difficult to evade once they are on a quarry\u2019s trail, because they can think their way past problems that would throw their lesser kin off the trail. Their shadow fey masters claim that hounds of the night can smell a shadow on running water and can sniff out a ghost passing through a wall.\r\n\r\n[b]Cousins to Winter[\/b]. Somewhere in their early existence as a breed, some enterprising hunter interbred them with winter wolves. Every trace of their white fur is long gone, but the cold breath of those dread canines remains.\r\n\r\n[b]Dimensional Stepping[\/b]. Hounds of night excel at distracting prey while some of their pack teleport away to achieve some larger goal, such as dragging off a treasure or overwhelming a spellcaster in the back ranks.","suggested_environments":"","armor_class":"15","hit_points":"112","strength":"20","dexterity":"16","constitution":"14","intelligence":"7","wisdom":"14","charisma":"10","base_movement_units":"","base_movement_in_ft":"30","fly_movement_in_ft":"","burrow_movement_in_ft":"","swim_movement_in_ft":"","climb_movement_in_ft":"","senses":"[tooltip:If you have Darkvision, you can see in Dim Light within a specified range as if it were Bright Light and in Darkness within that range as if it were Dim Light.

The hound of the night has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. If it is tracking a Fey, Giant, or Humanoid whose scent it knows, the hound can continue tracking that creature if the creature moves into the Border Ethereal or teleports, provided the creature isn\u2019t in the Border Ethereal for more than 1 minute or that the creature doesn\u2019t teleport more than 100 feet at a time.","actions":"[b]Multiattack[\/b].
