Westmarch Hounds are a type of Reaper enemy in Diablo III.
Lore[]
- Lorath Nahr(src)
Many noble houses of Westmarch kept hunting dogs on their grounds.[1] Tamer and gentler dogs could also be found within its capital. With the coming of the Reapers, these dogs,[2] and those of the nobles, were transformed, divided into pack leaders and smaller, vicious hounds. The former hunting dogs led packs of smaller dogs as they chased down their prey,[1] tearing them apart with ravenous hunger.[2]
In-game[]
Westmarch Hounds appear in Act V. There are two variants of the Hounds: smaller Vicious Hounds just attack the player, but the larger Hound Pack Leaders have more Life and may grab players with their mouths — when the player is released, their character is covered in slobber and in addition suffers heavy damage and Knockback. While a Pack Leader is chewing the player, they may not be killed, only reduced to 1 Life.
A skeletal version (Canine Bones) can be encountered during several events and summoned by Corpse Raisers.
If the character is killed, the Hound will urinate a glowing blue fluid on their corpse.[3]
