Special Traits
- Immutable Form. The clockwork hound is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
- Magic Resistance. The clockwork hound has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
- Diligent Tracker. Clockwork hounds are designed to guard areas and track prey. They have advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) and Wisdom (Survival) checks when tracking.
- Hobbling Strike. When the clockwork beast makes a successful opportunity attack, the target’s speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn.
- Pounce. If the beast moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a bite or tongue attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the beast can make one bite or tongue attack against it as a bonus action.
