Houndgar

About Houndgar

Houndgars are mid-sized pack predators that frequent the area around alien ruins and wreckage. Individual Houndgars hesitate, but a pack commits and tracks by smell, so trailing damage or fresh-scanned organic matter will follow you for some time. The right counter is to break line of sight, drop a Flare or noise distraction at a tunnel mouth, and exit the biome briefly. They will lose track within roughly a minute. Engaging directly with a knife is workable on a single Houndgar, but never on a full pack — the second and third members close before the first one falls.
