Two-Headed Hound

Living in small packs in the deepest wilds of the Feywild, these Two-Headed Hounds are terrifying monsters that the seelie fey tell their children frightening tales of.  Those who wander into the green depths of the Feywild sometimes find that the tales are no exaggeration.  Occasionally, some of the wilder Fey will befriend a lone male of these creatures and accompany them through the wilds.

Standing almost as tall as a horse at their shoulders, these shaggy wolves bear two heads where most have one, each large enough to eat a child up in one bite.

15:  Two-Headed Hounds are dangerous predators from the depths of the feywild.  Though some understand Sylvan, few choose to speak it.
20:  Two-Headed Hounds prefer to leap upon their prey and knock them down, and become very dangerous when seriously hurt.
