Fire Giant Kennel Master
Fire Giant, Kennel Master
Complex Monster, XP 8400
Level 16 (+7)
"Attention: Do not feed the Hellhounds. They eat anything. Giants, small creatures, other Hellhounds, rocks."
——Warning placed at the Fire Giant Kennels
The Kennel Master, unlike most military units that employ canines, is not often used for scouting or tracking. Instead, they are employed as ranged support for infantry, sending their monstrous Dire Hellhounds to set up flanks so they can pick apart their enemies from a distance, thinning the ranks for the larger force. These giants are commonly equipped with blackened chainmail and heavy crossbows that most other races would refer to as Ballistae. While not high ranking in military units, rating at just above a sergeant, the Kennel Master has a reputation for cruelty and sadism that outshine all others of their race. This is due to the excessive aggression required to train and control a Dire Hellhound.
