Appearance when infected by spiders. |
Sylvan Hounds, or sometimes called fern hounds, are plants that mimic dogs, born from the Pale Tree. Unlike the sylvari, Sylvan Hounds are born small and grow in a few months. They are naturally docile and great companions and are seen by sylvari in the same way dogs are seen by humans as cherished pets but when mistreated by Nightmare Court they are turned into aggressive Nightmare Hounds. There are only two known events where Sylvan Hounds themselves are hostile and attack the player - as part of the personal story mission A Sly Trick and within a group event in the Bastion of the Natural.

- Sylvari players have the ability to summon one to fight at their side for a time with the Summon Sylvan Hound elite skill.
- There are multiple ways to have your character transformed into a Sylvan Hound:
- Member of the Kennel is available early on after helping Danador manage his kennel. A separate skill set is available and due to a bug the transformation has no fixed duration.
- Plant Dog Transformation transform the player for 10 minutes upon consumption. However, no skills can be used while being transformed.
- Using a Box o' Fun has a chance to transform the character into fern hound. As such, he can then participate in a Costume Brawl with other players.
