Behavior[]

The Alpha Dire Hound seeks out enemies in order to cast Unknown icon Ranged Quill Attack onto them. It does not require any vision over its enemies, and finds them wherever they are. Not even invisibility stops the hound from sensing its enemies and launch the quills towards them. When the hound's current target is within 400 range of the hound, it retreats, walking away from its target for 1.25 seconds. If the distance is between 400 and 800, the hound launches its attack. If it is greater than 800, it moves closer to the target for 1 second. The hound always chooses the closest target to attack, and updates in 1 second intervals.
