Unleash a nightmare upon your tabletop with this Summoned Death Dog. Featuring two snarling, predatory heads and a hauntingly exposed ribcage, this Huge-sized monstrosity perfectly captures the feral terror of a beast warped by dark magic or necrotic rot.
A predatory monstrosity stalks through the darkness, its two heads alert for the scent of prey.
A formidable mini-boss or a high-tier summoned guardian for a powerful necromancer or warlock. It would serve as a 'hard' encounter for a mid-level adventuring party.
