The Flicker Hound
Medium monstrosity, unaligned
A lean, four-legged hunting hound with a coat that shimmers like heat haze. Flicker hounds hunt in packs and trade places with each other mid-chase, so prey that turns to face one hound finds another already at its heels. Huntsmen of the high moors breed them, and a flicker hound is loyal to whoever feeds it.
