Hunting Dog

aka Swollen Mongrel

Description


A mutated canine born from the experiments conducted by Lord Aldia. Hunting Dogs are not a naturally-occurring species and are therefore only found in areas to which they were introduced by the Dragon Acolytes. A number of them were dumped into The Gutter over the course of Lord Aldia's research and continue to prowl its depths in search of anything that might serve as a meal.1

Notes


  • Some of their attacks have weird hitboxes. The most notable being their bite attack, which can damage you if you are attacking the dog from behind.
  • The bite attack can be parried, but the dog cannot be riposted. However, it is stunned for quite some time.
