Description
A kaurken is a large dog built along the lines of a german shepard (ie, wolf-like). They are fearless and are immune to mental influence effects and very viscious. They will continue an attack until reduced to -10 hit points. When a kaurken bites, an acid is left on the attacker that will do 1d4 points of damage per round until the acid is washed off the victim. This acid takes 1 round to wash of with holy water but takes 4 rounds to wash off with fresh or salt water.
