Passives
Sunlight Banishment
If it starts its turn in sunlight, it is teleported to the Feywild and cannot return until nightfall.
Flyby
Fly speed 40 ft. Does not provoke opportunity attacks when flying out of reach.
Maneuvers
Bite
Bite attack. On hit, the target makes a Body save (DC 13) or is knocked prone.
Baleful Baying
All non-fey creatures within 300 ft that can hear it make a Heart save (DC 13) or are frightened for 1 minute. Frightened creatures must use their turn to move away from the hound, and repeat the save at the end of each of their turns.
Tactics
GM tactics
Hunts at night in packs of 3-5. One hound bays to scatter prey while others chase down the frightened. Knocks runners prone with bites. Withdraws to the Feywild at dawn, returning the next night to resume the hunt.

Rules
- Vigor equal to Tier, with an overflow of the same size behind it: 2, then 2 more. Neither half regenerates.
- A hit deals a flat 2, no roll. A crit (natural 20 only) rolls d6 and never lands below 2.
- Crits on a natural 20 only.
- Minor: no stat modifiers or dice in play; its scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
- At 0 Vigor it breaks and flees, out of the fight but alive; Fanatics fight on into the overflow instead.
- Total damage reaching 4 kills it outright, and a single blow of 4 or more kills it on the spot.
- Vigor damage is simply damage against a Minor: its whole pool is Vigor.
- Group morale: when its group loses half its number, fled or dead, the rest check morale.
- NPCs never take wounds.
