Can Blizzard answer what does Spectral Hound Minion do(1)Category: GeneralDecember-20-2013 2:03 PM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
As the subject says I am curious to know what it does. Since other extras do not incentives, at least for me, to spend extra $20, the minion might, depending on what it does. What would definitely make me spend extra 20 if Treasure Goblin Pet and Spectral Hound Minion would be both an option for the Diablo 3 Ros. Meaning, before each game you can choose either one, minion could do damage like 200% weapon damage with 1% or 2% increase with each character level, and Goblin could collect white and blue items and automatically salvage for you. Now for than I would pay extra $, but since it is not happening thus, back to the original question. So what does Spectral Hound Minion do, is it worth extra money or no?

Thank you in advance for the answer

So what does Spectral Hound Minion do


The Spectral Hound is just a vanity pet at present. It's fully animated and has its own unique personality (scratches its ear, sniffs the ground, digs up zombie bones, etc), but it doesn't provide any character power.

Can we "unsummon" it (like the wings)?


Yup. The Spectral Hound minion will be an item in your inventory which you can summon and dismiss at will (very similar to the wings). I don't know off-hand if the Hound will persist through death or show up in the main Hero select screen, though. I have that question out to our QA team. :)

Updated info!

Does the Spectral Hound:

  • Persist through death?
    • Yes, and it currently persists across logouts as well.

  • Show up on the main character select screen if he’s active?
    • Not presently.
