“混沌魔犬”柯兹夫Kezef the Chaos Hound 是在 艾伯尔-托瑞尔星球Abeir-Torirs 史前的黎明产生的古老、不朽的诸邪物之一。这只天国的袭掠者看上去就像一只怪诞、恶毒、有着赤红双目与老鼠尾巴的庞大獒犬。他的皮毛长满了蛆虫，这些蛆在几乎没有什么遮掩覆盖的肌肉和白骨上不停移动，烂肉如脓液般从旧伤上流出。而他的爪子在地面上留下的灼烧印记，一直蔓延到他身后燃烧的浓汁汇成的池塘。他尖利的牙齿在阳光下闪闪发光，就像一柄柄锋利的匕首。他的血液是一种漆黑的毒液，只要一碰到就会燃烧，他散发着一种可厌的腐烂灵气。
Kezef the Chaos Hound is one of the elder, eternal evils of the Outer Planes created in the dawn of Abeir-Toril's prehistory. The ravager of the heavens appears as a huge mastiff with unearthly, malevolent, red eyes and a ratty tail. His fur teems with maggots, the coat shifting incessantly over barely covered sinews and bones. His flesh oozes like pus from an old sore and his paws leave burning prints in the ground that spread into pools of burning ichor in his wake. His pointed teeth glitter like daggers of jet in the light. His blood is a dark, liquid ooze that burns on the touch, and he radiates a pestilent aura of decay. The fetid air of his breath extinguishes all nearby fires, and he reeks with the sweet stench of ancient death that can be detected from many miles away. Kezef can speak any language in a low and rumbling growl.
高等神会议the Circle of Greater Powers 决议禁止诸神或凡人与这只野兽来往时，泛费伦神系Faerûnian pantheon 多位成员组成了一个联盟，将柯兹夫囚禁在 喧癫空隧Pandemonium 名为 悲叹空隧Cocytus 的层面许多个世纪。在他被捕后，诸神力与柯兹夫打赌：他不能解开 贡德·奇迹使者Gond Wonderbringer 所制的带子。柯兹夫同意让贡德把一条短而结实的链子套在他脖子上，作为交换，提尔Tyr 的右手被放在混沌魔犬淌着口水的颚中。贡德把这条链固定在了喧癫空隧洞穴地板几英里深的地下，密斯特拉Mystra 则用一种无坚不摧、可自我修复的发光魔法能量之幕包裹了这只野兽。在这两个陷阱中，柯兹夫既无法挣脱链子，也没有人能穿越密斯特拉的光幕靠近他。当柯兹夫发现自己真的被困时，他咬掉了提尔之手，并在他努力解放自己的这几个世纪中，一直享用着它的神性本质。
Kezef was imprisoned for centuries on the layer of the plane of Pandemonium known as Cocytus by an alliance of members of the Faerûnian pantheon when the Circle of Greater Powers forbade traffic by deity or mortal with the beast. After he was hunted down, the powers bet Kezef that he could not break a leash forged by Gond Wonderbringer. Kezef allowed Gond to place a short length of sturdy chain around his neck in exchange for Tyr placing his right hand in the Chaos Hound's slavering jaws. Gond anchored the chain miles deep in the floor of Pandemonium’s caves, and Mystra wrapped the beast in an unbreach-able, glowing curtain of magical energy that automatically repaired itself. From these two traps Kezef could not escape, and no one could reach him through Mystra's curtain. When Kezef discovered he was truly fettered, he bit off Tyr's hand and feasted on its divine essence for centuries as he strove to free himself.
在 动荡之年Time of Troubles 后，希瑞克Cyric 为了狩猎 克兰沃Kelemvor 的灵魂而将它释放。谎言王子The Prince of Lies 唬骗密斯特拉进去撕裂了笼罩柯兹夫的魔网，然后用他的 神灾剑Godsbane（后来被发现是 马斯克Mask 的一尊化身）击碎了贡德的锁链。于是柯兹夫重返 费伦大陆Faerûn 并开始追踪克兰沃的人生轨迹。当他到达 深水城Waterdeep 的 黑杖塔Blackstaff Tower 时，马斯克和 散提尔堡西洋棋领主Lord Chess of Zhentil Keep 再次将柯兹夫囚禁在了 欧格玛Oghma 以一种古老仪式提供的附魔蜡烛中。马斯克随后把蜡烛给了 格威迪恩Gwydion，一位在密斯特拉的操作下背叛了希瑞克的发条检察官，后者在之后 纷争之城the City of Strife 对希瑞克的叛乱中，释放了混沌魔犬。直到克兰沃取得 亡者之主Lord of the Dead 头衔、神系的其余成员威胁要在 无信者之墙the Wall of the Faithless 内重捉这只魔犬前，这只混沌魔犬一直在猎食享用希瑞克的市民。柯兹夫逃跑了，现在正在诸位面追踪狩猎 阴影王子the Lord of Shadows 马斯克（他发誓将永远向他复仇）和他通常的猎物——信徒（外层位面的祈并者）。一直在逃窜的马斯克一直能听见背后柯兹夫地狱般的嚎叫。
Kezef was freed by Cyric shortly after the Time of Troubles to hunt for the soul of Kelemvor. The Prince of Lies tricked Mystra into ripping the magic weave enveloping Kezef and then shattered Gond’s chain with his sword Godsbane later revealed to be an avatar of Mask. Kezef traveled to Faerûn and began to follow Kelemvor's life trail. When he reached Blackstaff Tower in Waterdeep, the site of the climactic battle between the avatar of Myrkul and Midnight, Adon, and Kelemvor, Mask and Lord Chess of Zhentil Keep reimprisoned Kezef in an enchanted candle with an ancient ritual provided by Oghma. Mask later gave the candle to Gwydion, a clockwork inquisitor turned against Cyric by Mystra, who then freed the Chaos Hound during a rebellion against Cyric in the City of Strife. The Chaos Hound feasted on Cyric's denizens until Kelemvor assumed the title of Lord of the Dead and the rest of the pantheon threatened to recapture the Hound within the Wall of the Faithless. Kezef fled and now stalks the planes hunting Mask, the Lord of Shadows, against whom he has sworn eternal revenge, and his normal prey, the Faithful (Outer Planes petitioners). Mask is forever on the run, always hearing Kezef's hellish baying behind him.
战斗Combat：
柯兹夫难以置信地迅捷，除非是在与神交战，否则总是能取得先手。除了他那可怕的啮咬外，混沌魔犬的唾液还将灼伤受害者，在每次成功咬中后的3轮中，造成额外的1d10点强酸伤害。这种强酸伤害可由多次咬伤而累积。
Combat: Kezef is incredibly quick, and always strikes first in combat except when battling a deity. In addition to the damage inflicted by his terrible bite, the Chaos Hound's spittle burns victims for an additional 1d10 points of acid damage per round for the three rounds after any successful bite. This additional acid damage is cumulative for multiple bite attacks.
替代一次啮咬攻击，每轮1次，混沌魔犬可以喷吐一口腐蚀性的雾气，覆盖嘴前直径20呎区域。致命的强酸能从骨头上剔下肉来，并造成在暴露在其中的每轮2d12点强酸伤害，直到被中和、或长时间浸泡在流水中洗去。
In lieu of a bite attack, the Chaos Hound can breathe a puff of corrosive mist once per round in a 20-foot-diameter area in front of his mouth. This virulent acid can scour flesh from bones and inflicts 2d12 points of acid damage per round of exposure until neutralized or washed away by prolonged immersion in running water.
柯兹夫那震耳欲聋的嚎叫会导致听见的凡人陷入 困惑术confusion 和 恐惧术fear（如同4级法师法术）。（这种恐惧甚至能影响神明，但他们在豁免检定时得到+6奖励。）成功的对抗法术豁免检定能使嚎叫的影响拖后1轮。
Kezef's ear-splitting howl causes confusion and fear (as the 4th-level wizard spells) in mortals for as long as it is heard. (The fear can even affect deities, who receive a +6 bonus to their saving throws.) A successful saving throw vs. spell holds off the howl's effects for one round.
柯兹夫每轮再生5点生命值。他所受的任何伤口都会立即溃烂，然后腐烂的肉会迅速愈合。他的皮肤随着每一次打击而变形、如水一般柔软，这就是他防御等级如此高的原因。
Kezef regenerates 5 hit points per round. Any wounds he receives appear to immediately fester and then the putrefied flesh rapidly closes over the wound. The mass of corruption that is his skin shifts with each blow, as yielding as water, accounting for his high Armor Class.
任何在近战成功击中这只魔犬的人都必须进行1次对抗喷吐武器豁免检定，否则将溅到他渗出的、如融化的铜一样燃烧的血。这种灼热液体将造成每轮1d8点高温伤害，直到被拭去。只有+3或更好附魔的武器能击中柯兹夫。他完全免疫毒素、定身、恐惧或魅惑法术、幻术、灵能、以及即死魔法。在与半神力交战时，他的魔抗降低到40%；在与更高档次神力交战时，魔抗只有20%。
Anyone successfully striking the Hound in melee must make a successful saving throw vs. breath weapon or be splattered by his oozing blood which burns like molten copper. This hot liquid inflicts 1d8 points of heat damage per round until wiped off. Kezef can only be hit by magical weapons of +3 or better enchantment. He is totally immune to poison, hold, fear or charm spells, illusions, psionics, and death magic. His magic resistance drops to 40% when battling demipowers, and 20% when battling powers of greater stature.
随意使用，混沌魔犬能在位面之间进行 位面转移plane shift 或在同一个位面进行 无误传送teleport without。
The Chaos Hound can plane shift between planes or teleport without within a plane at will.
当他奔跑时，柯兹夫将变成如幽魂般的虚体，在这种状态下，他可以在任何地形上以近乎不受限制的速度移动。举例来说，他只花1个小时就走完了克兰沃走了4年的路。在这种非物质形态中，在感知中他只是一种幽魂般的模糊状态，他会留下一种挥之不去的腐烂气味、一种对黑暗角落的模糊恐惧感、以及黑夜中的嚎叫。当混沌魔犬慢下来的时候，他将再次变回实质性，使用上面列出的速度移动，不过他仍然可以在任何地形上移动、就像在空气中奔跑一样。如果他愿意，他可以随心所欲地隐藏无形，只留下一种被挂着邪恶笑容与恶毒气味的匍行者监视着的感觉。
Kezef becomes insubstantial as a ghost when he runs, and in this state he can move at a nearly limitless speed over any terrain. For example, it took him one hour to travel Kelemvor’s path for four years of life. In this noncorporeal form, all that can be per-ceived of him is a ghostly blur that leaves a lingering scent of decay and a vague dread of darkened corners and howling in the night. When the Chaos Hound slows down, he becomes substantial once again and uses the movement rate listed above, although he can still travel over any terrain as if running on air. If he chooses, he can hide invisibly at will, leaving only a sense of being watched by some creeping an evil laugh and noxious scent.
当混沌魔犬在猎杀某个特定灵魂时，他可以立即将自己传送到这个存在诞生的地点（通过 位面转移 和 无误传送）。在狩猎过程中，他疯狂地嚎叫着，并且是位如 桂伦·流风Gwaeron Windstrom 般绝对可靠的追踪者。与 追踪大师the Master of Tracking 不同的是，他依赖残留的情感气息追踪，这些气味可能已经有好几年甚至几百年历史了，一旦被他发现踪迹，任何活物都无法躲藏。混沌魔犬从残留在路上的情感共鸣，可以完完整整地复现这个存在生命的每一步。
When the Chaos Hound hunts a particular soul, he can immediately transport himself to the site of the sought being's birth (through plane shift and teleport without error). While on the hunt, he howls madly and is as infallible a tracker as Gwaeron Windstrom. Unlike the Master of Tracking, he tracks by lingering traces of emotional scent that may be years or even centuries old. Due to Kezef's astounding senses, no living creature can hide once he picks up its trail. The Chaos Hound can fully reconstruct every step of a being’s life from the emotional echoes that remain in its path.
只有满足了弑杀一个半神的条件，凡人或神祇才能真正杀死柯兹夫。否则，他会在一周后再次于喧癫空隧重生，再次开始自由狩猎。
Kezef can only be truly slain by mortals or powers under conditions similar to those required to slay a demipower. Otherwise he always reforms in Pandemonium after a week, free to hunt again.
栖息地／社会HABITAT/SOCIETY：
柯兹夫是个独一无二的存在，他漫游于外层诸位面，狩猎信徒、追逐马斯克。他喜好仇恨的滋味，有时会为了品尝一团特别多汁的情感气息而暂作休息、变为实质。倒胃口、不计后果的幸福气息令他作呕。他所到之处都会留下尖叫的噩梦——这是 “梦魇巨蛇”丹德尔Dendar the Night Serpent 的最爱。
Habitat/Society: Kezef is a unique being who roams the Outer Planes hunting the Faithful and chasing Mask. He relishes the scent of hatred, and sometimes pauses and becomes substantial in order to savor a particularly juicy emotional scent. He is nauseated by the scent of cloying, reckless happiness. In his wake he leaves screaming nightmares particularly cherished by Dendar the Night Serpent.
生态学Ecology：
灵魂与精魄难以置信的顽强。只有神之手、像混沌魔犬这样的古老、永恒的邪物、或是像 恐怖之河River Slith 这样难以言述的堕落之地，才能真正毁灭它们。柯兹夫靠袭掠诸位面、捕食信徒的精魄实质生存。他不喜欢 无信者the Faithless 和 伪信者the False，并且对在世者尚未成熟的精魄的味道感到恶心。
Ecology: Souls and spirits are incredibly hardy. Only the hand of a deity, an elder, eternal evil such as the Chaos Hound, or a place of indescribable corruption such as the River Slith can truly destroy them. Kezef survives by raiding the planes and preying on the spirit-substance of the Faithful. He has no taste for the Faithless or the False and is sickened by the taste of the unripened spirits of the still-living.
[译注：River Slith——词源北欧神话，意为the Fearful]
当柯兹夫毁灭了一个信徒时，构成他皮毛的蛆集群将离开他墨黑的骨架吞吃尸体。这些饱食的生物随后将缓慢蠕动覆盖柯兹夫的躯体，让他显得变得臃肿。任何被如此吞食掉的信徒都将真正、永远地被毁灭，即便是那些神力事后也无力召回。
When Kezef destroys one of the Faithful, the maggots which make up his pelt swarm away from his jet-boned skeleton to devour the corpse. The gorged creatures then mill slowly over Kezef's body, making him appear bloated. Any of the Faithful who are eaten in this fashion are forever and truly destroyed, beyond even the recall of the powers.
