Deep Hound

Created by a forgotten Triton wizard, Deep Hounds are the result of him wanting to bring the dogs he met on the surface world to his people beneath the sea. Nobody knows who he is but this is accepted lore. Since their introduction roughly six centuries ago they have become quite popular among triton children, hunters, and warriors. At some point, some escaped into the wild ocean and sometimes packs of 10-20 can be seen hunting the ocean floor.
