'''War Hounds''' are elite [[War Beast]] units that appear in the [[European Dead Zone]] [[Flashpoint]].

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
War Hounds behave in the same way as regular War Beasts, with the main difference being that they have a much larger total health count than their regular counterparts. They can run in fast and slash [[Guardian]]s to pieces, so close-range weaponry that can burst down high-health targets in a pinch will take War Hounds down fairly quickly.
The War Hound differed from its standard Red Legion counterpart by its heavier, gold-colored armor, adorned with black, red and white markings, and incredible durability. It behaved in the same manner as standard War Beasts, running in fast and slashing [[Guardian]]s to pieces with its stronger attacks. Close-range powerful weaponry, such as a [[Shotgun]] or burst-fire [[Sidearm]], was necessary to keep it back and deal sufficient damage.
