Hello, everyone. I hate to show up after such a long time with a request, but I was hoping my fellow scribes who have stayed in the D&D loop would be better versed on this subject than myself.

My GF is making a ranger character and want to use a Mastiff like dog as an animal companion. Now, I remember reading the stats for something similar long ago. I forget what it was called. Attack dog, maybe?

Can anyone think of something similar (and the books found in) for me? I would be very appreciative.

OK. Thank you for your help. I'll have to look into those.

Dragon issue 102 had an article entitled "A Collection of Canines" that might help.

War dog, most likely.

In 1st, base animal was 2HD+2 about twice a wild dog. The AC one level better then wild dog, movement was 12" instead of 15" for wild dog. I infer that the trained war dog speed reduced because of waiting for commands and/or carrying some protective items.

Not sure what edition you are using, however a war dog is much like a war horse, the base stats higher as far as combat, tends to be lower movement because of commands.
