Ecology

Eel Hound is a creature of the Feywild, bound to seasonal cycles, oaths, and the strange logic of fey courts. It is most often found in underwater regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Eel Hound is governed by oaths, bargains, and a sense of beauty alien to mortals. Its Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.

Origin

Eel Hound is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Fey trace to the Feywild and the eternal courts of the seasons — the Seelie and Unseelie, or older powers. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
