These terrifying hounds appear only as black shapes, no matter what the light level is, apart from their red-glowing eyes. They are most commonly noticed by the growls and slavering noises they produce. With the power to walk from one shadow to another, they can travel through barriers, compounds, and bypass defences as easily as walking through them. Packs of these shadow hounds are sometimes kept by the Cold Walkers of the Fey Courts, and unleashed to hunt their foes.
Often bound and called from the Shadowfell to hunt down and slay those who have offended their master, they are terrifying and relentless hunters.
