Hounds

A man's best friend. Best friends and servants only to Francois the Dominating One. Can be encountered as early as the beginning of the game, right outside the entrance of the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger. They are also found around in the area of the tree of the God of the Depths (the Thicket), the dream sequence in Ma'habre, and when going past the old man Francois within Ma'habre after talking to him.They announce their arrival by the messages that appear:

"You hear distant barking from afar..."

"The barking is getting closer."

"The hounds are coming!"

Loud barks are then soon heard, which indicate their presence in the field. They are fast and can outrun the player, even if the player has Dash. Originally, once they reach the player, the player dies instantly. But now they are their own enemy and the player has a chance to fight back against their would be oppressors.

They have an instant kill coin flip attack. Beware.
