A good friend can be hard to come by out in the wilds of Elevere, especially if you are a solitary Floramancer a long way from home. The monsters that patrol the branches can be dangerous and unpredictable, striking without warning from unseen locations.

Floramancers sometimes get so caught up in their studies that they don't even notice the giant salabounder behind them until its jaws snap shut. That's why most Floramancers rarely head into danger without a good flower sentry, the Flower Hound. These leafy canines bear all the traits of their flesh and blood counterparts, but all they need to sustain themselves is water and sunlight.

A floramancer in need would do well to summon forth a Flower Hound. They are fierce, loyal creatures with a nice balance of speed and attack power. They are versatile plant summons, effective both as a sentry and in combat.

Flower Hounds are often the first summon for new floramancers because of the ease with which they can be managed. A newly sprouted Flower Hound can obey commands like a well-trained dog. However, Flower Hounds have been known to act on their own if their owner becomes indecisive in battle.

Another bonus: Flower Hounds are much cleaner than a regular dog. They never make a mess on the carpet and when you unsummon them, they float back down to earth as a gentle pile of leaves, ready to be called at any time when their master is in danger or if they are just bored and wish to play a game of fetch.
