[poll] Prototype Monster: The Spall Hound

[Senkennomei]

Well they're really not. Effectively, they are desert wolves. As previously mentioned, their plates crumble really easily, and are mostly for visual purposes only (and camoflauge).

I need to keep them at CR 1 because these are going to be monsters my PCs fight at level 1.

I'd say cut the CR to 1/2...
