Bog hound

A bog hound is an animal added by the Odyssey DLC.

Acquisition[edit]

Bog hounds can be found in scarlands. They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.

Bog hounds can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from exotic goods traders. Bog hounds purchased from traders will be already tamed.

Summary[edit]

?

Analysis[edit]

Bog hounds are wild dogs adapted to survive in a toxic environment. They are much wilder than their domestic cousins, with a lower hunger rate and stronger bite, but are otherwise similar in their ability to take damage.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

In addition, a Bog hound can be trained to perform 'Attack Target': “Command the animal to attack a specific target that its master can see.” (Prerequisite needed: Attack)

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Scratch attack that varies from animal to animal. Each front paw allows one attack.

It may also change depending on the stats and the melee verbs available to the pawn.
