Death Hounds are undead creatures that serve as the pets and guard dogs for vampires in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.

CombatEdit

Deathhound primary form of attack is their bite, which deals Frost Damage, however they also emit a permanent Frost Cloak that drains stamina from anyone in melee range during combat.

Upon death they drop a Death Hound Collar and Dog Meat and occasionally small amounts of gold or other minor treasure. They have a lesser Soul.

TriviaEdit

• Killing Death Hounds count towards raising the power of the enchantment of the Dawnguard Rune Axe.
• It is possible that death hounds are a result of dogs contracting Sanguinare Vampiris.
• Their look and name are very similar to Hell Hounds from The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall but they are fire element based and death hounds are frost based.
• It is speculated the death hounds get their frost based attacks because they are undead, similar to the way that vampires have a resistance to frost.
• Like vampires, death hounds cannot be fed upon by a werewolf. Having the perk Savage Feeding does not change this.

AppearancesEdit

• The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard (First appearance)
