There are a number of different backgrounds and classes to pick for your character in Dragon Age Origins and depending on what you choose you will either start with this legendary animal or come across one in a quest later. But what makes this dog so special?

These Giant animals are the result of a crossbreed between a Mastiff and a Wolf, they are used in war and are seen as one of the most ferocious animals you could face. They are however extremely intelligent, being able to follow complex commands and understand what people are saying to them.

These war hounds are born with an undying sense of loyalty, they imprint themselves on a human and will follow them into certain doom, giving their life for you if needed. There are legendary stories in the Dragon Age world of warriors falling in battle and later being avenged by their war hounds.

This is just the kind of companion you, a Grey warden facing the encroaching Darkspawn, will need in their journey, and any hero is lucky to have this animal’s loyalty.
