Larger dogs (known to Small races like halflings and gnomes as riding dogs) include hardier breeds such as huskies, mastiffs, and wolfhounds. A riding dog can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a DC 10 Ride check. This one has been modified by magic and alchemy; heavy brass plates are riveted in place over the animal, its claws and teeth replaced with brass as well.
