As cowardly as they are ugly, goblin dogs prefer to lurk behind bushes or in deep shadows, pouncing upon lone or wounded prey. Goblin dogs frequently lair and roam in packs, but they are likely to flee from a fight if injured, even if it means abandoning their pack-mates. Goblin dogs take their name from their long association with goblins, who breed the beasts as guard animals and mounts. Most goblins take issue with the name, as the average goblin is appalled at the suggestion that these, their favored mounts, have anything at all to do with actual dogs. Of course, being goblins, they haven''t bothered to come up with their own, unique name for goblin dogs. Even the most pampered goblin dogs have itchy mange and prolific dander that tenaciously affects those who come in contact with them. This "goblin pox" causes itchy hives and festering sores that are as unsightly as they are irritating and distracting. Goblin dog dander causes allergic reactions in nearly all other creatures that don''t share the goblin dogs'' terrible hygiene—with the notable exception, of course, of goblins, who remain entirely immune to the disease regardless of cleanliness. Hunger can drive goblin dogs to bouts of uncharacteristic violence; many goblins purposefully starve their pets to make them more aggressive in battle. Goblin dogs subsist on whatever organic material they can scavenge, and they particularly enjoy fresh carrion. Although goblins are far from picky eaters, they value goblin dogs as pets because the noisome animals will consume food that even goblins won''t dare to eat. "Will it eat?" is one of several games goblins enjoy playing with their goblin dog pets, where a wide range of mouth-sized morsels (not always edible or safe to consume) are dangled before a goblin dog''s snout. "Will it die?" is often a game played after "Will it eat?" Goblin dogs who survive the second game earn renown for their digestive prowess and often become favored tribal pets treated better than most of the rank-and-file goblins. **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 15' hp: 17 hp_misc: null immunities: null items: null languages: null level: 1 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d6+3 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: - formula: null type: goblin pox to_hit: 9 traits: null name: Goblin Dog perception: 6 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: Goblins and goblin dogs are immune to goblin pox. **Saving Throw** DC 17 Fortitude; **Stage 1** __sickened__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 2** sickened 1 and __slowed__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 3** sickened 2 and can't reduce its sickened value below 1 (1 day). effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Goblin Pox range: null raw_description: '**Goblin Pox** (__disease__) Goblins and goblin dogs are immune to goblin pox. **Saving Throw** DC 17 Fortitude; **Stage 1** __sickened__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 2** sickened 1 and __slowed__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 3** sickened 2 and can''t reduce its sickened value below 1 (1 day).' requirements: null success: null traits: - disease trigger: null - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The goblin dog vigorously scratches itself, exposing all adjacent creatures to goblin pox. effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Scratch range: null raw_description: '**Scratch** [Two Actions] (__manipulate__) The goblin dog vigorously scratches itself, exposing all adjacent creatures to goblin pox.' requirements: null success: null traits: - manipulate trigger: null ranged: null rarity: Common resistances: - amount: null type: '>' ritual_lists: null saves: fort: 8 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 8 ref_misc: null will: 5 will_misc: null sense_abilities: null senses: - Perception +6 - low-light vision - scent (imprecise) 30 feet size: Medium skills: - bonus: 6 misc: null name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 7 misc: null name: 'Stealth ' source: - abbr: Bestiary page_start: 182 page_stop: null speed: - amount: 40 type: Land spell_lists: null traits: - N - Medium - Animal type: Creature weaknesses: null
