The Kentucky Hellhound makes its supposed home in Pike County, KY. This blue-furred, 6' long, 400 lbs. nocturnal canine creature is 4' tall at the shoulder, and has a long mane that extends down its back. Early moonshiners were the first to sight the creature, and due to it eating mainly young calves, a $200 bounty is in effect for the beast. When it eats the calves, it will remove all the skin from their backs, and no one is certain why. The Kentucky Hellhound is as fast as a horse, and is primarily an ambush predator.
The Hellhound surprises victims on a 1-4 on 1d6, as it has an uncanny ability to find perfect hiding spots, and is smart enough to use pack tactics. If one (or more) is encountered, if the character encountering the beast flees, it will always give chase and attempt to kill the character. The only way to survive and encounter with one is to either kill it, or stand firm and try to intimidate the beast (this will prompt a morale check). It will attack with a particularly nasty bite from a mouth full of razor sharp teeth.
Terrain: Woods.
Inspired by S1 E7 of Mountain Monsters. Quote of the episode: "Slicker than snot on a doorknob!"
