Description:
Canines who live not, but are not dead, gravehounds hunger for flesh enough to sate their never-ending appetites. A gravehound resembles a decomposing canine of exceptional size. It bounds and dashes, thrusting its toothy muzzle forward, always sniffing for fresh prey or decomposing flesh -- a gravehound is not particular about what it eats. Gravehounds sometimes rise from the corpses of wild dogs who have scavenged the bodies of humanoids that were improperly buried; the site of a mass grave is one of the gravehounds' favorite feeding grounds.
