Exude Darkness. Magical darkness spreads from the mangled fur of the Dark Hound covering it in a shroud of darkness, to fill a 60-foot-radius sphere for the duration. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can't see through this darkness, and both magical and nonmagical light can't illuminate it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness. Keen Hearing and Smell. The wolf has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. Pack Tactics. The wolf has advantage on attack rolls against a creature if at least one of the wolf's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
