The Dogs of War are synonymous with their Master. Before the final approach of the god of war, his war hounds sweep the battlefield in blood and carnage. Nine great, monsterous beasts, each with three heads of wolf, hound and dragon. If you see the Hounds, know that your life is forfeit.
The form of Garkash is that of a giant, bestial Malkovian (Orc), clad in dark, plate armour and wearing a spiked crown. Six muscled arms extend from his sides wielding two double axes and two shields. The Master of War uses a great black dragon, named Grimdaris, as a mount, and his axes gleam with a magical fiery glow. His followers call the weapons "Dominion".

Common Worship
Garkash is the god of the Kashites (named so after him). There are still many who revere him as their saviour, the one who unlocked their full potential by freeing them from the limits of Gaia. They revel in his Blood Curse and wage war against whomever they encounter.
But his worship is not limited to the Kashites, however, as the kin spawned from the Seed of the Deep are merely the end result of the War-god's efforts to cosmic domination.
Garkash is called on to bless onslaught and battle, where moral codes have no footing. In the rage of battle there is only death and to be the one dealing it is preferred. Such is the blessing of Hound of the Deep.
