Total War: Warhammer 3 seems to have clawed its way back into players' good graces, turning things around with the superb Thrones of Decay DLC, which gave us flying ships, boozed-up dwarfs and one world-conquering maggot. Creative Assembly is still working on its follow-up, focused on the Khorne, Greenskins and Ogre Kingdoms factions—but in the meantime, we're all getting a freebie. His name is Karanak, he is a good boy, and you can add him to your armies now.
Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance, is a daemonic pooch who guards the throne of Khorne, the Blood God. When he's not getting his belly rubbed, he hunts for anyone stupid enough to enter Khorne's domain, gleefully murdering them with his very large teeth. With three heads, he expects to get triple the number of pats. I'm rather partial to this new addition to the game, since he reminds me of my own hell hound, Cosmo, a nearly 3-year-old cockapoo and accomplished killer of socks. Just look at this ferocious beastie. Terrifying!
