Encountering War Dog

While common dogs can be found across the continent in both domestic and wild forms, War Dogs are almost exclusively found in the possession of soldiers and guards. War Dogs have no wild counterparts and thus have lost many of their natural instincts beyond those they have been bred to possess. These dogs are fiercely loyal to their masters and will fight to the death on their behalf, obeying any commands given without hesitation and using their increased strength and lethality to great effect against those unfortunate enough to face them. It is not uncommon to find a pair of guards accompanied by a War Dog as they patrol the streets of a city or for a hardened warrior to be accompanied by the dog they served with in conflicts past. They can also be found in the possession of the many ne’er-do-wells across Tamriel, used to intimidate or eviscerate any who cross them. In short, War Dogs are almost always encountered alongside their masters and this combination of warrior and canine is a truly potent force for any adventurer to face.

Loot

• On a +0 Survival test, a character can remove the War Dog’s
• pelt, worth 5 drakes, over the course of a Short Rest. Skinning
• a domestic dog is considered a cruel act in most of Tamriel,
• and in some places is also a crime.
• On a +30 Simple Survival test over a Short Rest, a character
• can harvest DoS days’ rations of dog meat. The meat will
• spoil within a day if not properly preserved. Additionally,
• harvesting a domesticated dog’s meat is typically considered
• cruel and may be criminal.|
