Notes

The following message is displayed when you defeat a hound:

The hound collapses into a pile of dust in moments.

If you defeat one (or more) hound(s) with a Myers sampling kit equipped you will collect samples with the following message:

The hound(s) collapse(s) into (a) pile(s) of dust in moments. You're only able to save one large chunk with the sampler.

You've found: hound crystal or crystal spike

Defeating a a hound with a binding tome equipped this message:

The hound collapses into a pile of dust in moments. You call out with ancient words from the tome you carry and gather <the/one> hound's energies.

You trap a spectral echo of the hound within the pages of the tome, feeling exhausted afterward.

You've learned a new technique: Release the Hounds

If you have both Myers sampling kit and a binding tome equipped, the sampling kit takes priority.

If you fight several hounds at once in the same combat, you can only gain one large chunk total.

You try to eat the hound, but just get a mouthful of crystalline dust. It absorbs before you can cough it out, causing a strange prickling all over your skin.

You've gained 5 duration of Bone Spikes (no hunger loss)
