Karanak, Hound of Khorne, Comes to ‘Total War: Warhammer III’ for Free
Khorne’s best boy Karanak comes to Total War: Warhammer III, and for free, even. Even when they’re daemons, dogs are good.
There’s excitement in the air, the hot hellish air of Khorne’s domain, that is. Because Karanak, the three-headed Hound of Khorne, better known as Chaos’ bestest boy, is coming “soon” to Total War: Warhammer III.
Now what “soon” means, or who else will be accompanying the goodest of daemons is anyone’s guess. All we know for sure is that he’ll be included in an upcoming patch, and that he’ll be a free legendary hero. Valkia players will doubtless be overjoyed. Let’s see him in action!
Karanak crashes in to Total War: Warhammer III
In the trailer, we see our hound doing what he does best, absolutely ruining a poor wizard’s day. Hounding through time and space, because what are these to a daemon, Karanak closes in for the kill.
And that probably gives us a good idea of what he’ll do in the game. Karanak lives to eat magic, he hates it so much and it tastes so good.
Or, as Lexicanum puts it:
The Blood God unleashes him to search out those who have transgressed his warrior creed or otherwise insulted his immense pride. Each one of his heads is able to track his chosen prey in a different manner. The first head tracks through the physical realm, the second tracks through time, whilst the third is said to track them through the tangled trails of their own minds.
Those who are hunted by Karanak must meet him in battle at some point for he is swift and tireless, never sleeping and anticipating all possible moves of his quarry swiftly. When the hunt is over he returns to his lord’s throne room, leaving the skull with Khorne and retreating to a corner to devour the rest of the corpse.
Look for Karanak soon in a patch near you!
