#Lore24 Beasts of Fogotten Gods #Creature24 The Dogs of War

  War has many faces and turns man against against man, sister against sister.  War has many disciples that profit from the chaos and macabre carrion of its wake.  No creature is more capable and ruthless in its loyalty to its master than a Dog of War.  Huge dire beasts with deep black fur often mottled with blood stains, Dogs of War have deep set intelligent eyes backlit with blazing flame.   The gaze of a Dog of War brings aggression, confusion and blood lust to those who meet it.  The creatures very essence is that of combat and disconnection from rationality.  The six claws on each of its massive front paws can rend iron and steel and are thick with rotting flesh.  a strike from a Dog of War often leads its victim to raving madness as a hellish infection quickly poisons both their body and mind.   Dogs of War can spit a gout of flame, poison, negative energy, or other terrifying vapors or magic.  

Dogs of War are at their most dangerous when they travel in a pack.  Usually 5-8 individuals roaming together, packs will coordinate their hunting strategies in order to cause as much disruption as possible in combat.  They tend to single out weaker individuals and attempt to lead  or force them away from the lager group.
