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 adventurer and usually run in packs. Their keen noses give them the ability to sense invisible creatures and track the smell of blood

Canines 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 exotic locations. Many of them can be summoned with the spell Call Canine Familiar.
