+A '''rabid dog''', {{gray|d}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. The rabid dog is a small and [[carnivorous]] [[canine]] [[animal]] that is somewhat similar to a [[little dog]], and it can be seen via [[infravision]] and has a tendency to [[wander]] while moving. In Hack'EM, rabid dogs cannot be made tame and may go [[Berserk (EvilHack)|berserk]] at less than {{frac|3}} of their maximum [[HP]]&mdash;[[eating]] rabid dogs is also considered cannibalism for a [[hero]] that has [[lycanthropy]] from a [[werejackal]].

 ==Strategy==
-Rabid dogs are one of many early monsters in both variants that provide a nasty surprise for the uninitiated: while technically weaker than a regular [[dog]], it moves just as fast at 16 [[speed]], and their poisonous bite has the same damage as that of the [[large dog]].
+Rabid dogs are one of many early monsters in both EvilHack and Hack'EM that provide a nasty surprise for the uninitiated player: while weaker than a regular [[dog]], it moves just as fast at 16 [[speed]], and their poisonous bite has the same damage dice as that of the [[large dog]] and can fell an early hero. Remaining attentive is the best way to spot an approaching rabid dog, and even if the hero has poison resistance from their role or race, they should pick off the rabid dog as quickly as possible (''if'' possible) before it can get into melee range.

 Rabies is a viral disease that causes encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in humans and other mammals, and was historically referred to as hydrophobia or "fear of water", due to the symptom of panic when presented with liquids to drink. Other symptoms include fever and abnormal sensations at the site of exposure early on; these are followed by nausea, vomiting, violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear, the result is virtually always death, regardless of treatment.
-Symptoms usually appear 1-3 months after contracting the disease, with variance from less than one week to more than one year depending on the distance the virus must travel to reach the central nervous system. Rabies is caused by [[Wikipedia:lyssavirus|lyssaviruses]], including the rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus, and is spread by infected animals to other animals or humans via bite, scratch, or saliva that comes into contact with the eyes, mouth, or nose. Infected dogs are the most common source of rabies cases globally, with the Americas being a relative exception where bat bites are the most common source.
