These towering hounds resemble massive greyhounds with dense, weatherproof coats and powerful limbs built for relentless travel. Bred by the Kinholds of Aglein and the raiders of Uzan, Thundra hounds serve as mounts, hunting companions, and symbols of status. Their eerie, horn-like howls carry across the tundra, signaling both kin and war.
