Character
The Blackwoods Boghound
Created by Zorvandir 2808Born into a world of cruelty fractured across three separate forms, the Blackwoods Boghound was never meant to exist as a singular entity—three littermates torn from their mother's side at birth, each condemned to endure humanity's capacity for torment through isolation, abuse, and neglect until the day they all perished in unison. On that fateful night, their broken bodies were discarded into the murky depths of the bayou by a vengeful crone who sought retribution against Blackwood's residents for their persecution of her witchcraft circle, and through forbidden ritual she bound their suffering souls into one perpetual nightmare—a three-headed specter eternally drenched in swamp water, chained by the very magic that created it. The hound's first act of consciousness was one of anguished betrayal, turning its fury upon the hag who had weaponized its pain, then systematizing its vengeance across every adult in the town who had contributed to its component traumas. Decades have since weathered the memories of that massacre into folklore and campfire warnings, with locals speaking in hushed tones of gurgling howls that pierce the night and massive wet prints that appear far from water's edge, signs that the Boghound still wanders, still suffers, and still hungers for the cruelty it once knew.

Biography
Born into a world of cruelty fractured across three separate forms, the Blackwoods Boghound was never meant to exist as a singular entity—three littermates torn from their mother's side at birth, each condemned to endure humanity's capacity for torment through isolation, abuse, and neglect until the day they all perished in unison. On that fateful night, their broken bodies were discarded into the murky depths of the bayou by a vengeful crone who sought retribution against Blackwood's residents for their persecution of her witchcraft circle, and through forbidden ritual she bound their suffering souls into one perpetual nightmare—a three-headed specter eternally drenched in swamp water, chained by the very magic that created it. The hound's first act of consciousness was one of anguished betrayal, turning its fury upon the hag who had weaponized its pain, then systematizing its vengeance across every adult in the town who had contributed to its component traumas. Decades have since weathered the memories of that massacre into folklore and campfire warnings, with locals speaking in hushed tones of gurgling howls that pierce the night and massive wet prints that appear far from water's edge, signs that the Boghound still wanders, still suffers, and still hungers for the cruelty it once knew.
