Spectral Hound

Adversaries Designed by Júlia Alberto

Adversary overview

A ghostly hunting hound bound to an ancient battlefield, phasing in and out of reality as it tracks its prey.

This is my take on the Stonewraith from the Daggerheart System Reference Document, but changed to be a Spectral unit, alongside Spectral Guardian, Spectral Captain and Spectral Archer.
