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]

Antonia B.: Yes...
Dr. Fulviani: Very well. I want you to go back to that time in that graveyard in Darkon.
Antonia B.: No! No!
Dr. Fulviani: You will go there.
Antonia B.: I'm opening the gates. I'm walking in. The corpses have been stolen. The villagers are scared.
Dr. Fulviani: Go on, my dear.
Antonia B.: I enter. I prepare holy water in my hand. Then... The corpses start to dig out of the grave.
Dr. Fulviani: Did you use the water?
Antonia B.: I can't... I'm too scared...
Dr. Fulviani: Why?
Antonia B.: There is a dog... A giant dog. It is... Oh, Ezra... It is made of corpses...
Dr. Fulviani: What does it do?
Antonia B.: It is baying... Baying... It is baying right now in my head! Make it stop!
