  description: The yeth hound emits an unearthly howl audible up to 300 feet away.
    Any non-__fiend__ creature that hears the howl must succeed at a DC 20 Will save
    or become __frightened 1__. Any creature that critically fails and is within 60
    feet of the yeth hound is instead frightened 3 and __fleeing__ for 1d4 rounds
    (or until it recovers from its frightened condition). Whether it succeeds or fails
    the saving throw, the creature is then temporarily immune to Bay for 24 hours.

description: 'Wicked canine creatures who live for the thrill of the hunt, yeth hounds
  often serve evil masters as guardians and trackers. Yeth hounds resemble lean, sleek
  dogs with overlarge ears and narrow paws that can tread on air as easily as the
  ground. Despite their canine appearance, yeth hounds are remarkably intelligent,
  although they rarely display this intelligence except when devising intricate tactics
  to ensnare their quarry. Their eerie bays echo across the countryside when they
  are engaged in a hunt, and they particularly enjoy baying to frighten and disorient
  intelligent creatures. Yeth hound packs can number as many as a dozen members, each
  working in uncanny communion with its packmates to corner and kill their prey. Yeth
  hounds like to drag their victims back to their lairs to eat at their leisure, so
  these lairs often contain discarded treasures from the hounds'' previous meals.




  Yeth hounds despise two things: sunlight and other canines. They hunt only at night
  if they can, often breaking off their hunt at dawn to retreat to a subterranean
  lair or den, no matter how close they had come to catching their prey. Yeth hounds
  usually attack __wargs__, __wolves__, and similar creatures on sight, working to
  drive larger or more powerful canines from their hunting areas when then can''t
  simply overpower and kill them.




  Evil rangers, bestial __demons__, and wicked cults are frequently gifted yeth hound
  servants by fiendish patrons. Such hounds often serve as spies and are quick to
  turn against those who fail to advance the patrons'' wicked aims. The cult of __Lamashtu__,
  in particular, is fond of using yeth hounds as temple guardians.
