Dire Hounds spawn in set intervals within the Howling Weald, together with Alpha Dire Hounds. They spawn in packs, which then seek out the players. In the Crossroads Garrison, they also spawn as part of the waves during the defense and are also summoned by Lucius Longclaw.

Behavior

The Dire Hounds do not have any custom AI and use regular auto-attack rules. The packs in the Howling Weald seek out players and always know where they are. When close enough to a hero, they simply auto-attack it.
