Kroot Hounds

The Kroot Hound is an evolutionary dead end of the Kroot. They are quadrupedal pack hunters. They are often utilized by the Kroot for hunting and in war.

Kroot Hound Pack

Kroot Hound Packs are large groups of Kroot and Kroot Hounds that work together. Often the Kroot attack and break the enemy's morale, and then the Kroot Hounds are unleashed onto the retreating unit.

The pack numbers at least 10 Kroot, 1 Shaper and 5 Kroot Hounds, and can be increased to up to 20 Kroot, 1 Shaper and 20 Kroot Hounds. The Kroot Hounds fight with their teeth, while the Kroot and Shaper are armed with Kroot rifles. The Shaper also has access to the Kroot Armoury. The Kroot may be armed with Frag Grenades and may also be given the Hyperactive Nymune Organ.

Kroot Hounds are an evolutionary dead-end (Niche Trophic), but unlike other dead-ends they are not hunted to extinction by other Kroot. It is likely a Kindred consumed too many quadrupedal animals and changed into Kroot Hounds. They can be released into combat and have their own special attacks.
