A cooshee,
or elven dog,
is found only in woodlands or meadows frequented by elves.

A cooshee <cwsidh> moves quickly,
and,
when chasing something in a __straight line__ ,
its SPEED is even greater (21 ").
When fighting it will strike with its huge forepaws to knock 2-footed creatures of human size or smaller <S & M> off their feet.
This attack is determined normally before biting.
Prone opponents are,
of course,
then more easily bitten (no DEX bonus, +2 to hit). <check if this is noted in the combat chapter>
Elven dogs avoid others of the canine species.
Their bark can be heard for a mile or more,
but they bark only to warn their masters.

A cooshee is the size of the largest common dog. <edit and MOVE to SIZE?>
It has a greenish coat with brown spots.
This coloration,
coupled with its ability to move silently,
enables it to conceal itself easily in brush or woodlands (75% chance of hiding). <MS=75, HS=75 ??>
The typical cooshee weighs over 168 pounds and often attains 310 pounds.
Its paws are huge with heavy claws,
and its tail is curled and held above the back.

13.5 + 3 = 16.5
