The foul spread of the Black Grail extends beyond humanity, infecting the carasses of animals. Parasitic canine corpses writing with maggots and files, the Hounds of the Black Grail, join the warbands of the Cult of the Black Grail, ranging ahead of their shambling masters to sow the seeds of disease. By the time full combat erupts in the trenches, Beelzebub's enemies are already doomed to fall to his unholy sickness.
