Battle Mastiffs are huge dogs born and bred for war. They stand about four feet high at the shoulder, and weigh 300-400 lbs. They have very short hair, usually black, but occasionally with rust-brown on the underbelly, around the eyes and mouth, or under the chin. They have massive bull-like necks, tiny pointed ears, broad, blunt snouts, and beady yellow eyes. They are bred for their ferocity and tenacity and are sometimes enhanced with body armor (AC increase) and/or serrated steel gauntlets for their paws (+3 claw damage). They are trained to obey only one master. If their master is killed, they will immediately attack whatever is responsible.
