The Flicker Hound
Large monstrosity, lawful evil
A sleek, six-legged predator with a shimmering coat that ripples like heat haze. Its form never quite settles in one place, appearing a few feet from where it actually stands. Flicker hounds are often found serving more powerful aberrations as trackers and guardians.
