# L1 Chaos Hound
description= _ "Exceedingly few communities have continued to breed domesticated dogs after the Fall; not only because of the harsher climate and scarce resources with which to feed captive animals, but also due to an overabundance of larger and more dangerous predators. The Chaos Empire, on the other hand, not content with using slaves and barbarian mercenaries in warfare, has turned dog breeding into more than a mere pastime. For their quadrupedal companions anything unfamiliar constitutes prey, and they never yield in a fight until they have reduced their target to bloody bits."+{SPECIAL_NOTES}+{SPECIAL_NOTES_BERSERK}

# L2 Demonic Hound
description= _ "It is relatively rare for Chaos Hounds to survive a year in service since their relatively frail build makes them prime targets for arrows and sling bullets, plus their temperament more often than not leads to in-fighting. Those who do, however, promptly earn the Chaos Magi’s attentions — which more often than not entails being subjected to all kinds of reprehensible experiments, turning them into sturdier and deadlier killing machines."+{SPECIAL_NOTES}+{SPECIAL_NOTES_BERSERK}

# L3 Hellhound
description= _ "It should come as no surprise to anyone that the followers of Uria have perfected techniques for extracting and transplanting souls from their bodies. Very little information about it ever reaches outsiders, but most evidence indicates that it is a common disciplinary action against those who have failed or otherwise displeased their superiors. They are then given a last chance to clear their names and prove their worth, usually with new bodies seldom fit for the task.

It is suspected that many of the Chaos Hounds who manage to survive their masters’ research have had their souls replaced with those of fallen demons, either because their original souls break down from the horrors, or simply because it is much easier to strip a tortured soul from its vessel. The fact is, for the denizens of Inferno there could hardly be anything more humiliating than being forced to carry on their lives confined to the bodies of beasts that even their Irdyan allies despise; walking on all fours, sleeping next to their own excrement, and eventually succumbing to their low instincts. Having long since realized that regaining their honor is a lost cause, for these miserable creatures there are only two options left: to embrace death at the hands of their enemies, or turn against their masters and pray that they do not decide to prolong the torment."+{SPECIAL_NOTES}+{SPECIAL_NOTES_BERSERK}
