Power: 1 | Speed: 3 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Scorched Lowlands
Origins: Ash Hound doesn't fight with power. It fights with persistence. A lean, low-running dog forged from compacted ash and residual heat, it tracks targets through smoke and ruin without slowing. It doesn't need to hit hard. It just needs to still be running when everything else has stopped.
Finishing Move: Cinder Trail: Leaves a burning path behind every charge – the ground stays hot long after the Hound has moved on. Anything that follows walks into the afterburn.
Synergy & Rivalry: Natural pack mentality with Ember Wolf – the two work in rotation, one driving targets into the other's path. Has a long-running feud with Ice's Frost Cub, whose cold trail extinguishes everything the Hound leaves behind.
