Explorer role: The deepest role on the roster. Aspect bonuses treat it as offensive in some cases (Attack SPD under Strength) and durable in others (Max Health under Insatiability), so its scaling depends on the Aspect you build around.
Energy: Has Omnileech, which is what lets it trade damage and survivability instead of choosing one.
Where to find Bladehound
- Hills behind Iia. Will not bond with anyone it deems weak.
- In the hills: look for bone-blade marks on the walls near the librarian's place.

Bladehound Anidex entry
Bladehound is the embodiment of every quality befitting "Strength." It harbors grand ambition and drives itself ever onward. Rising with the morning mist, returning beneath the moonlight, it sharpens its skills without ceasing. It has witnessed the cycle of leaves, winds, rains, and snow year after year, and the comings and goings of countless souls, yet never seems willing to witness its own growth. To Bladehound, "Strength" is always a glory on the far shore, forever beyond reach, and all it can do is press closer step by step. None know what sustains it, nor why, whenever its eyes rest upon Cublade, a fleeting loneliness settles in its gaze.
Dispositions
Bladehound carries these four. Exactly one runs at a time, so this is the one thing about it you choose rather than roll for. What the rest of the roster carries is on the Dispositions reference.

Rapport ranks
Duplicate copies of Bladehound raise its Rapport rank, and each rank changes its signature skill. The ladder is not evenly weighted: ranks 1 and 4 scale numbers that are already there, ranks 3 and 5 are a flat stat bump and nothing else, and ranks 2 and 6 are where the skill actually gains something new. Those two are the ones worth pulling for.
