Originally animated by evil gods or insane necromancers, charnel hounds are Huge assemblies of dead bodies that have overall shapes resembling hounds. Minus commands from capable masters, these nocturnal undead wander around looking for more bodies - living or deceased - to incorporate into their mass.[1] {[Spec|Within the Demiplane of Dread, charnel hounds were creations of Vecna, who used them to augment his military forces in the Burning Peaks. The dissolution of that domain could have shunted them elsewhere in the Land of Mists.}}[2]
