If a worg pack is resistant to disease, or an outcast worg takes control of a death dog pack, crossbreeding may occur. DEATH WORG In the scrub borders between forests and deserts or plains and badlands, worgs and death dogs may mix. Thus these alliances are often temporary. Death dogs may ally with hobgoblins and bugbears, though the goblinoids are not immune to the dogs' disease. A typical death dog is 7 feet long, stands 4 feet tall at the shoulder, and weighs about 500 pounds. Remove disease can kill a death dog's worms and remove its disease ability, but if allowed to associate with others of its kind, its quickly becomes reinfected. A death dog's corpse is contagious for several days after its demise and may infect creatures that touch or eat it. The worms don't harm the death dog, but consume any creatures they come into contact with. A death dog's saliva contains hundreds of tiny eggs that grow into flesh-devouring worms. A pack's territory may overlap with others of its kind without competition, though in lean times packs may skirmish over live prey or carrion.

Capable of tracking their prey for miles across barren terrain, death dogs surround stronger creatures, attacking and retreating, allowing their infected bites to wear down an opponent until it is too weak to fight. Said to be the risen corpses of dogs or hyenas animated by monster-worshiping cultists, they are actually living creatures infested with symbiotic worms.

Death dogs are disease-ridden nocturnal pack hunters.
