Kroot Hound Pack

Hound Packs are one of the many different kinds of creatures in the Kroot genetic family, believed to be the descendants of a ancient Kroot kindred that attempted to mimic a pack hunter by eating their flesh and absorbing their genes, but at a loss to their sentience. Similar to dogs, Kroot Hounds are ferocious in battle, flipping and biting their enemies at will. They are however generally bad tempered and, on rare occasions, have been known to attack their keepers.

Note: In Dark Crusade Kroot Hounds do not regenerate health.

Tactics

Like Kroot Carnivores, Hound Packs' primary purpose is to tie up enemy units in melee combat. Hound Packs, however, are much more durable and deadly. In order to access Hound Packs, the Kauyon Command Post must first be built. The best use of Hound Packs is to keep them between the enemy and your ranged units. They are feared melee units, beating even Possessed Squads once a Kroot Shaper is attached, but die quickly under intense enemy fire and still lose to Ogryns led by a Priest. That being said, once attached with a Kroot Shaper and with Feral Leap researched they are very effective.
