A war dog used by Shinra, a powerful organization from a distant world. It’s recognizable by its blue body and the long tentacles coming from its back. It uses these tentacles to attack its enemies. Despite Shinra being a business organization, it also maintains a military force to enforce order. These guard hounds are given special training, and are paired with Shinra troops when going out on their rounds.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Tentacle Mastery (Ex)
Guard hounds are very skilled at using their tentacle and use it as if it were a primary attack.
Whip Lash (Ex)
Once every 1d4+1 rounds as part of a full attack action, a guard hound can do a tentacle lash with a minor jolt. If he hits at a +2 bonus to hit (+5 total), the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 13) to negate the stun status for 1 round.
