Biology[]
Gorehounds are monstrous creatures that had both reptilian and insectoid qualities. They were roughly the size of a human being. Though were stooped creatures that ran on four hoofed feet. A simply a apology of the gore hound would be a sub-machine guns on four legs.
Gorehounds had a pair of limbs that sickeningly resembled clawed arms which carried projectile weapons. Said weapons were extensions of their bodies. Their bodies were designed to allow them to rush an enemy position and then empty their internal magazines. The projectiles contained in these magazines were alive composed of larval ammunition. The ammunition stayed inert until they were exposed to breathable air. Once awakened, the larvae were voracious and would chew their way through as much living tissue as they could until before subsequently, literally burst from overeating.
Due to gorehounds having little armor on the rest of their bodies, they were susceptible to incendiary assault and when their ammunition was exposed to air would be eaten alive.
