List of canines
Canines are common scavengers and hunters found all throughout Crawl. While they are among the weaker monsters you'll find, they are all faster than the average character and usually run in packs. They can mostly be found in the Dungeon and the Lair (especially in the hound-themed Lair ending), though a couple varieties can be found in more unusual locations. Many of them can be summoned with the spell Call Canine Familiar.
Canine Types

Jackal- Low-level pack-hunters that inhabit the early Dungeon. Individually weak, but a pack can bring down a low-level adventurer if they catch him out in the open.
h 
Hound- Swift, solitary dogs found in the earlier portions of the Dungeon. Quite delicious.
h 
War dog- War-trained dogs with painful bites and a pack mentality. Found both in the Lair and in the company of Grum.
