Shadow Hounds began to appear in Sosaria on October 17th, 2024 with the event Shadows Awakening (Publish 118.1). During battle, the Manifestation of Evil would spawn Demon Portals to call in reinforcements. Mostly Shadow Reavers answered the call and came through the portals, but rarely a Shadow Hound would appear. Due to the spawn mechanic and rarity, it was difficult to tame Shadow Hounds, especially on highly populated shards where many players arrived to defeat the boss. The difficultly in taming was partly due to the Shadow Hound being fairly small and dark, as the hound uses a Dire Wolf graphic, and many players, or their summons, targeted and killed the hounds without players even realizing the hounds were present. The other difficultly in taming was that if players did realize the hound was present, some players would purposefully target and kill the hounds, even during a taming attempt, just to grief the potential hound owner.

Shadow Hounds appearing through a Demon Portal


On October 29th, 2024 a hotfix was issued which included changes to Shadow Hound spawn mechanics. With this hotfix Shadow Hounds now spawned from Cache, Hoard, and Trove chests in all facets. Also, whereas hounds from the Demon Portals were 1 or 2 slot at spawn, all of the hounds from treasure chests were 1 slot at spawn. Shadow Hounds could spawn in a treasure chest's initial guardian wave, or when items were removed from the chest. A number of hounds could spawn during the initial guardian wave. Three hounds spawning during the guardian wave were seen multiple times at Cache chests. As a result of the hotfix, Shadow Hounds immediately went from being extremely rare to quite common.
