Illusory Guard Dog

3rd-level illusion (ritual)

Casting Time: 1

Range: 150 feet

Saving Throw: Wisdom

Components: V, S, M

Duration: 8 hours

This spell creates an illusion of a dog of a ferocious breed. The illusion acts like a dog, and will move, make sound, smell, and emanate heat. The dog will stay within 10 feet of where the spell is cast, and the caster cannot move the illusion once it is cast.

The dog will smell and sense anyone approaching within 200 feet, at which point it barks until they leave its sensory range. Any touch or successful attack against the dog dispels the illusion.

The material component is a few dog hairs wound in fleece.
