Half demon/half hound, these shapechanging denizens of the Lower Planes strike fear into the hearts of all. Only the most powerful demon lords can control these brutal creatures. Abyssal Hounds
are tireless and relentless trackers, pursuing enemies of their masters to the far corners of the Abyss and beyond. Once set to a task, they do not quit until either the task is complete or they are dead. In hound form, they are fearsome, snarling horrors in combat. In humanoid or hybrid form, they can be almost anyone, anything, striking before their target realizes the threat.
