Plated Hound

Plated Hounds are beasts found in the Whistling Mountains and the Freoh Desert.

Info:
Plated hounds are powerful-built hounds, opportunistic omnivores that, when grouped up, can take down prey far larger than their own.

Packs are a healthy mix of male and females specimens, though once they reach maturity, they'll leave the pack and roam the wilds alone. Here they'll eventually find a mate, which they'll stay with for life, slowly building a new pack.

Combat:
Packs will utilise swarm tactics, multiple creatures constantly harassing the enemy; pairs will usually employ hit-and-run tactics, charging at the enemy with their heavily plated head and torso; lone specimens will charge and then keep close, biting and swiping.
