	Grimhounds are the terrible hunting mastiffs belonging to the [[Elves\|Queen of the Elves]]. They are thought to have originated in a different part of the [[Multiverse]] and to have strayed into her domain, only to be trapped and subjugated by her. Taking the form of huge red-eyed mastiffs with lethal metal teeth, they are normally deadly to any running creature the Queen sends them against.
