Wolves and Wild Dogs#
One family of Wild Animals: 12 animals, levels 3 to 9. Reading the tables says what each column means.
Wolves, jackals, foxes and hyenas. The big ones hunt in packs, and a pack is worse than any of its members.
| Animal | Level | Health | AC | Bite | Group | Tame | Worth | Lives in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fennec Foxsmall · weakA tiny sand-colored fox with ears half the size of its body. It lives in burrows across the dry scrub and badlands of Crecia, Amari and Moria and hunts by listening for insects underground. Tamed fennecs make popular pets, though they’ll dig through any floor you give them. | 3 | 13 | 4 | 1d4 | 1 | DC 4 | 30 |         |
| Jackalsmall · weakJackals trot the edges of the Sands of Bone and the scrub of Crecia and Moria, yipping at dusk. They scavenge after lions and raid camps when they can. Caravans out of Dumasque set a guard against them every night. | 3 | 14 | 2 | 1d4 | 1 | DC 6 | 35 |  |
| Foxsmall · weakFoxes are red, clever and everywhere, from the Crecian prairie to the scrub of Moria. They raid henhouses and camps and stay just out of reach. A fox pelt is worth a little; a fox in the henhouse costs a lot more. | 5 | 16 | 4 | 1d4 | 1 | DC 4 | 20 | |
| Hyenamedium · weakHyenas laugh at night on the Crecian prairie and the scrub of Amari and Moria, and the sound carries for miles. They scavenge most of the time and hunt the rest, and they get bold around the wounded. Keep the fire high and the injured in the middle. | 5 | 21 | 3 | 1d4 | 1 | DC 5 | 10 | |
| Dhjarian Foxsmall · weakA small gray fox with a sandy face that hunts the Dhjarian Pines and the other forests of Esthar and Tharsis. It eats almost anything, including whatever you left unguarded in camp. The pelt is thin and sells cheap. | 6 | 18 | 6 | 1d4 | 1 | DC 7 | 20 | |
| Gray Wolfsmall · weakThe big gray wolf of the northern forests and tundra, from Darkwood to the boreal woods of New Saellem. Alone it keeps its distance. A pack in winter doesn’t, and it will follow a party for days. | 6 | 24 | 4 | 1d6 | 2-4 | DC 5 | 40 | |
| Dholemedium · weakA rust-red wild dog that hunts in whistling packs through the forests of Menusia and Amari. One dhole is a nuisance. A pack will run down a deer or a traveler, and it doesn’t give up. | 7 | 23 | 6 | 1d6 | 2-6 | DC 6 | 25 | |
| Wild Dogmedium · regularWild dogs roam the forests of Tharsis and Esthar, some of them the grandchildren of village curs that never came home. Most are wary and keep their distance. The hungry winter ones come closer to the fire, and they go for the legs. | 7 | 23 | 6 | 1d6 | 1 | DC 6 | 25 | |
| Red Wolfmedium · regularSmaller than the gray wolf and red-brown, this lean wolf hunts deer and rabbits in the forests of Tharsis and Esthar. Red wolves pair for life and defend the den hard. | 8 | 24 | 6 | 1d8 | 1 | DC 5 | 40 | |
| Wolfmedium · regularWolves hunt the forests and tundra of New Saellem and Jewall and the deep pines of Darkwood. Their howling carries for miles on a still night, and it’s meant to. A lone wolf will usually shadow a traveler and then leave, and one raised from a pup makes a loyal hunting companion. | 8 | 24 | 4 | 1d6 | 1 | DC 5 | 40 | |
| Coyotemedium · weakA lean, yellow-gray dog of the woods and tundra edges, the coyote yips through the night from Crecia to New Saellem. It steals chickens and follows caravans for scraps, and it runs from anyone who throws a rock. Easy to tame, hard to keep from wandering off. | 8 | 25 | 2 | 1d6 | 1 | DC 5 | 60 | |
| Dingomedium · weakA lean, sandy wild dog of the Dumasque and Morian deserts that hunts alone or in loose pairs. It howls instead of barking and raids camps at night. A pup taken young enough grows into a loyal dog. | 9 | 26 | 5 | 1d4 | 1 | DC 5 | 25 | |
