    Skinned Hounds are canine daedra native to the Shivering Isles that resemble eyeless dogs that appear to have had their skin removed, exposing tissue, muscles, tendons and bones. They are usually found in and around ruins located throughout that plane of Oblivion. The Skinned Hound is not a beast to be underestimated, they are extremely fast and agile, and on Nirn they are used by sorcerers to protect their lairs. A stronger variant, Greater Skinned Hound, is slightly larger and more dangerous.

    Zombie Dogs are just ordinary dead dogs reanimated by necromancers to create ferocious, mindless guard dogs for their lairs. They have no reason, fear or empathy, and will attack intruders on sight."
