Powers:
The powers listed are commonly found in Faerie Hounds, but it is rare for a single hound to have more than two of them.
Appearance: Faerie hounds are usually of chunky, hunting breeds. Many have shining eyes, and almost all have black, white or green fur. These statistics also suit the hunting hounds of the courtly fae. This type of faerie hound often has a white coat, red ears and blue eyes.
Huge faerie dogs haunt the roads of much of Mythic Europe. They terrify, and sometimes kill, travelers. Some can run rapidly, and others run upon their hindlimbs when chasing humans, to have their teeth closer to the victim's throat.
Variants:
In part of France, this role is filled by a terrifying goat.
Aufhocker, found in German-speaking areas, acts as a kelpie, and uses a power to cling to foes while goring them so that his weight adds 6 to their combat Load.
Kludie, from Belgium, is the most powerful variant of this beast. It can take monstrously-large versions of the forms of dog, cat, bat, horse or frog. It walks on its back legs, with a dancing movement as it sprints toward its victim. It is preceded by supernatural blue flames. Kludie knows the trick of bouncing on the back of his quarry and using a power to drag his prey down. He also does the kelpie trick, dunking or drowning those who mount him in horse form.
General physical prowess. It includes moving smoothly, confidently, and with grace. Use of Athletics improves most large-muscle coordination.
\nSpecialties: acrobatics, contortions, grace, jumping, running. (General)

The faerie is likely uncomfortable in the presence of the ward, but is not compelled to flee. The faerie cannot regenerate Might points in the presence of a traditional ward. If forced to touch the ward, the glamour holding the faerie’s body together begins to break down: its body begins to flake away. Prolonged contact with the ward destroys the body of the faerie by unpicking the glamour holding its body together.
This may appear to humans as if the ward is burning the faerie. The damage to the faerie’s body can be simulated with the Heat and Corrosion rules found on page @@ of ArMDE. Assume that the object acts as a source of damage with an intensity of +6.
If a faerie receives an Incapacitating wound from an item that is a Traditional Ward, then in addition to the usual effects of Incapacitating wounds (ArM5, page @@) the faerie cannot spend any further Might points. It can still activate powers with a zero cost, though.
