Bullmastiff

Crossbred from bulldogs and mastiffs, a bullmastiff is a large dog weighing (8+1d5) x 10 pounds. They are fierce guard dogs, which are nonetheless gentle and loving with their owners. When a bullmastiff bites an opponent, it latches on, doing an automatic 1d4 damage per round until it releases its hold through a successful Mighty Deed or an opposed Strength check vs. +4. When a bullmastiff is removed through an opposed Strength check, the victim takes an additional 1d4 damage. This is a good example of a guard dog. Unfortunately, bullmastiffs only live 2d3+6 years. They cost 1d5+20 gp when available for purchase. In general, a guard dog raised from puppyhood is more likely to protect and obey its owner. Other names: gamekeeper’s night dog.
