Eclipse hound

Eclipse Hound

An eclipse hound is a large black attack dog. It only has one "hand", its mouth, and gets +5 damage with unarmed attacks that use that hand, as well as +3 damage with other unarmed or weapon attacks. They can smell the aftereffects of light, and can accurately identify how bright the place it sniffs was at all times up to 1 day ago.

Eclipse hounds have the power to create a region of impenetrable darkness as a standard action. The region is a 20 meter radius spray centered on a point within 200 meters to which the eclipse hound has line of sight. The region of darkness is completely impenetrable to light, and so cold that creatures and unattended objects within the region take 1d6+3 Cold damage each round (ability bonus included). This darkness lasts until the eclipse hound creates another one.

Eclipse hounds are moderately smart, but cannot speak.
