Motion Sense

A sticky toffee hound can sense nearby creatures through vibration and air movement.

Overcooked

Trigger The sticky toffee hound is reduced to 0 hit points by any method other than its water soluble weakness

---

Effect The sticky toffee hound explodes, dealing 1d4[bludgeoning],1d4 fire damage in a 15-foot emanation with a DC 15 reflex save.

Water Soluble

When exposed to at least 1 bulk of water, or a spell or effect with the water trait (even one that normally doesn't do any damage), the sticky toffee hound takes 10 acid damage as the sugar that makes up their body melts away, in addition to any damage that would normally be applied.

Sticky Paws

A sweet residue cakes the tracks left by a sticky toffee hound. A creature Tracking the hound can roll a Cooking Lore or Crafting check instead of a Survival check. The creature can apply any modifiers to this check that involve identifying or preparing food, such as those granted by the Seasoned skill feat or the Supertaster general feat.

Toffee Sauce

A creature hit by the sticky toffee hound's headbutt Strike is splattered by the sticky toffee sauce that soaks the creature's body, becoming Clumsy 1 until the end of their next turn. On a critical hit, the creature instead becomes Clumsy 2.

Sweet hags have an affinity for baking and take delight in corrupting all that is sweet and scrumptious. Like most bakers, each hag cultivates a personal collection of favorite recipes they keep coming back to. For Larmine, the hag occupying Dalmira's Bakery, the most loyal of her specialties are her sticky toffee hounds.

Though modeled after noble hunting hounds, there's only so much magic can do to hold sponge cake and toffee sauce in a roughly canine shape. These sticky-sweet creations therefore have all the loyalty of a dog and all the versatility of an ooze, to the point that they practically hold themselves together through sheer force of devotion to their creator. However, the saccharine hounds have little awareness of their creator's mortality; were Larmine ever to die, Grayce would be serenaded nightly for weeks by the burbling howls of her mourning pets. In fact, the toffee oozes might eventually become so desperate for attention that they latch onto defenseless civilians, even suffocating their new (and unwitting) owners in a desperate quest for affection.

A sticky toffee hound is an irresistible trap for insects, whose congregation can give away the ooze's presence. The hound's body is ultimately lethal, though, trapping animals in its gooey hide like mosquitoes in amber.

Half Baked Creations

Sticky toffee hounds aren't the only option for enterprising sweet hags who want to make companions. Creatures like this can be in any form and shape, but animal shapes and behaviors are the most often mimicked. Sweet hags can also make companions out of breads, doughs, and other confections, lending to a buffet of dangerous and potentially tasty allies.
