Grint Hound

Grint Hounds are a non-sapient species.

Biology
Native to the Klingon homeworld of Qo'noS, Grint Hounds are horse-sized canine predators. Their bodies are covered in short grey fur, and the head is proportionally large, with a mouth filled with a double row of sharp teeth. They live in plains and hunt mainly at night.

Grint Hounds live in groups of two to six, and follow a strict hierarchy, with individuals challenging each other for the alpha role. Rather than ambushing prey, they prefer to actively chase it.
