A death dog is a dark skinned dog with 2 large feral heads and gleaming red eyes.

A death dog is a dark skinned dog with 2 large feral heads and gleaming red eyes. Their heads sway back and forth on their bodies looking for prey to attack. They typically attack in pairs using their baying to distract the enemy while they rush in enmasse to kill and rend the enemy to pieces. Their typical height is 4ft high at the shoulder and 6' long in length. Their stringy tail and hairless hide give them the appearance of blending into the swamp which they use to their own advantage to attack their prey.

A death dog will mate with another death dog and produce a litter of 2d6 pups. Once the pups are born the mother leaves them after 3 months to fend for their own and they become prey for many swamp creatures.
