Ecology: Found in Arctic regions, devil dogs hunt in packs of up to 16 individuals. They are aggressive hunters, preying on just about anything, from small rodents to large elk. Fearless, they will attack humans, elves, and so on, if there are sufficient numbers of devil dogs in the pack (i.e. one devil dog per person in the target party).
Personality/Motivations: Normal animal motivations.
Powers/Tactics: As their white coats allow them to blend into snow, frost, and ice, devil dogs will use their protective coloration to stealthily sneak up on a target, and then charge for in a burst of speed. As they approach, the dogs will start to bay, hoping to spook and/or panic their targets into making a mistake. Once engaged with a foe, the devil dogs attack by biting, and will normally aim for the throat.
Appearance: A devil dog has a stark-white coat and ice-blue eyes. They stand 3 feet at the shoulder and have the same general build and appearance as a timber wolf.
Designer's Notes: The devil dog is found in the 1st Edition AD&D Field Folio. Like nearly everything else in said book, it likes to attack and eat people.
