===REFERENCES===
Due to the fact that no one has managed to take a photo of the entity, the following drawing has been generated from several testimonies.
==Behavior==
The Hound will emerge from a nearby vent if a loud noise occurs, such as the shattering of a mirror or a vase, or after a specific period of time if no loud noise has been made (approximately 4 minutes). It despawns by jumping back into the vents, signified by a distinct growl and metal sounds. When the Hound encounters a player, it will stand there intimidated for a certain period (about 5-10 seconds), during which it emits a soft growling noise before attacking. If the player sprints, it will chase after the player. If it loses sight of the player, it will go back to normal.
==Strategies==
*Avoid creating loud noises like sprinting or whistling when the Hound is nearby.
* Be careful when shattering a vase or mirror, as this will immediately spawn the Hound.
*You can use a Screwdriver to close vents a Hound has emerged from to prevent it from entering/exiting that vent ever again.
* If you see a Hound staring at you while intimidated, you can easily lose its interest by breaking the line of sight while maintaining eye contact and slowly walking away.
** However, if a Hound is chasing you because you sprinted, just find the nearest locker to hide in until it walks away.
**When needing to evade the Hound, either sprint at full speed past it or run at a roughly 45-degree angle backward during its attacking animation to dodge and minimize the chances of being hit.
==Notes==
*While hounds may spawn from vents, there is no need to worry if you notice steam coming out of the vents. It is simply a part of the game's ambiance, created to generate a sense of fear.
*If the player gets killed by this type of entity, the player will be awarded the ENTITY #8 VICTIM achievement.
*It possesses remarkable speed, nearly matching a sprinting player's pace.
*The Hound has a 50% chance to spawn in the garbage area in the Sewerage.
**The Hound will not enter the water in the Sewerage.
