Hushed Jackal
Corrupted: gaunt, tall upright ears, a needle muzzle, a dark saddle, a thin brush tail, ribs showing; sand-grey with purple eye and veins, a faint mist
Corrupted jackals that always hunt in a pair.
Every frog gets the same experience for it, whatever your own level (only your stamina changes it: half again when rested, half when worn out). When several frogs hurt it, they share it by how much damage each did; a party with shared experience on gets 20 % more, and 10 % more again for each different calling in it.
Where and when
The Stake Line and the Glass, in the Sallow Sands.
How it fights
One stands off two tiles away and stares at you. That one is not the danger: the other is circling round behind. Turn so you can see both. They leap from two tiles and the bite bleeds. The last of a pair runs when it is nearly dead.
