The skinned hound is extremely fast and agile. Like the Flesh Atronach, it appears to be composed of skin and muscle that is roughly sewn together, but it is uncertain whether they are summoned like Daedra or merely constructed. The skinned hound is not a beast to be underestimated. The Hero may obtain one of these creatures as a companion or pet in Oblivion by completing the quest Ushnar's Terror.
