Disease (Ex)

A scraghound's saliva is an infectious brew of contagion. Creatures bitten by a scraghound are often afflicted with bloodfire fever, a disease characterized by deep internal pain, as if the victim's blood were on fire. Its symptoms include loss of muscular coordination and physical strength as well as lethargy and fatigue.

Bloodfire fever: Bite-injury; save Fort DC 14; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d3 Str damage, 1d3 Dex damage and target is fatigued; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Keen Scent (Ex)

A scraghound can notice creatures by scent in a 180-foot radius underwater and can detect blood in the water at ranges of up to a mile.

 ECOLOGY

Environment any aquatic
Organization solitary, pair, or pack (3-8)
Treasure incidental

Some reports claim that scrags have bred their own aquatic version of trollhounds. These “scraghounds” are said to possess crocodile- or shark-like jaws filled with teeth and to smell blood in the water over great distances. Scraghounds possess the aquatic subtype and the amphibious special quality. They have a base land speed of 20 feet, a swim speed of 30 feet, and the keen scent special ability. A scraghound’s bite inflicts 1d8 points of damage, and its regeneration ability only works when the creature is submerged in water.
