Description

These brown and yellowish creatures are as intelligent as normal humans and have a fairly complex language consisting of barks, yaps, whines, and growls. There are also able to use a limited form of Dimension Walk (the "blink"). In attack, pack members will blink in and out in a random fashion at random intervals, Dimension Walking individuals having a 75 percent chance of appearing behind an opponent. In any given turn there is a 60 percent chance a blink dog will Dimension Walk.

1D20	Location
1	In front of opponent
2-3	To the left of the opponent
4-5	To the right of the opponent
6-20	Behind the opponent

When blinking in the dog will appear within one meter of its opponent and immediately attack. Blinking is an inborn instinct, and it never allows the animal to reappear in a space already occupied by a solid object. If seriously threatened (or if more than a quarter of the pack has been hit), the entire pack will blink out and not return. There is a great enmity between blink dogs and displacer beasts and the two creatures will always attack each other. If encountered in their lair there is a 50 percent chance that there will be 2D6 pups. These young can be tamed and trained, making them quite valuable.
