​

The Ironmaw Gravehound is a massive, wolflike quadruped with pale, scar-pocked hide and jagged black bone structures protruding from its back and skull. Its skeletal mask isn't natural bone, but calcified plating formed from repeated trauma and regrowth — a biological response that eventually created a nearly unbreakable, exoskeletal helm.

​

The creature's body shows clear signs of past binding — remnants of ancient restraints and ritual piercings remain embedded in its forelimbs and neck, suggesting long-term domestication or weaponization, now broken.

​

Though it appears diseased or undead from a distance, the Gravehound is very much alive. Its vitality is monstrous; muscles ripple under tight flesh, and its eyes — if one ever sees them — are small, golden, and blisteringly aware.
