 Like other dogs, hostile large dogs can be unwelcome annoyances to early characters, and may even prove lethal if a low-level character encounters one in an early [[bones]] - thankfully, they can be just as lethal to other hostile monsters when tamed. A former character's large dog can be tamed to help deal with their [[ghost]] and sort through bones items, and ideally can help hold off whatever monster sent the last character to their doom.
