Blink dogs are carnivorous pack animals (1d6 adult males, 1d6 adult females, 2d4 children total. Usually only the males will be encountered out hunting) which typically hunt wild herbivores, living in forest, hills, and plains. They are more benevolent than most predators and may well come to the aid of friendly adventurers, especially against displacer beasts, who they hate. However, they also sometimes come into conflict with settlers as they require large hunting grounds, and will attack anyone who seems to permanently encroach on them. (Adult Blink Dogs require half a square mile of plains, 2 square mile of forests or 4 square miles of hills per pack member for hunting grounds over the course of a year. Kids require half that.) A typical pack (4 males, 4 females, 4 kids would thus require 5 square miles of plains, 10 square miles of forest or 40 square miles of hills)
