A powerful, muscle-bound predator equipped for war, this hound features a heavy-duty cage muzzle and massive defensive spikes along its shoulders. Its aggressive, low-slung stalking posture makes it the perfect companion for wasteland raiders, dark wizards, or as a terrifying mutant encounter in your next campaign.
A vicious guard dog stalking slowly forward, restricted by its muzzle but ready to attack.
Rank-and-file pack hunter, guard animal for a villain's lair, or a wasteland mutant encounter.
