Sigil's indigenous watchdogs, called Aoskian hounds, are two-headed creatures with a nasty temper. Besides a double bite, these snow-white or pale tan death dogs boast a tremendous bark. Knights of the post never tangle with Aoskian hounds if they can avoid them. Most are muzzled during the day and only allowed to roam by night. Their ghostly pale appearance and deadly quick reflexes have caused many a second-story man's tumble into the street, and most have been thankful for the fall. After all, the Aoskian's bark can stun a knight long enough for the watch to arrive.
Aoskian hounds cost from 20 gp (weaned) to 150 gp (grown and trained). They were first bred by the followers of the god Aoskar. The power's been destroyed and nearly forgotten, but the hounds are thriving.
Combat[]
SA - The warning bark of an Aoskian hound is loud enough to stun opponents for 1-6 rounds unless they make a successful saving throw versus paralysis; when delivering its warning bark, the hound cannot attack with its bite. The blood of Aoskian hounds is used in creating Mordenkainen's faithful hound and hold portal scrolls and other magics relating to doorways.
