Nachthunds

Description: Nachthunds are canine like monstrosities under the command of strong spell casting creatures similar to Hags. They thrive in darkness and threaten both the physical and mental health of their victims. These shadow bound and snarling creatures attack in packs where they plot and execute ambushes in the small hours of the night. Those who manage to survive an attack with these monsters often preserve their physical body but lose their minds to insanity.
