When that opponent is dead, it will move on to another foe. #### ecology **Terrain** Temperate forests **Organization** Solitary or pair **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 11–20 HD (Large); 21–30 HD (Huge) Bearhounds are intelligent, masterful hunters. Usually loners that value their privacy and keep to the woodlands, they will sometimes associate with good creatures for a righteous cause. Many laugh at the mention of the elusive bearhound. Some call it a myth, an animal invented by inebriated hunters. Few sightings of a bearhound come from reputable sources. A typical bearhound stands 6-1/2 feet tall at the shoulder when on all fours. It weighs as much as 2,000 pounds.
