Archons are Celestial beings native to Mount Celestia. They are the natural enemies of fiends, particularly demons. Hound Archons, in particular, seek to defend the innocent and the helpless against evil, usually doing so in the service of a deity of good or a member of the Celestial Hebdomad.
A Hound Archon looks like a tall, well-muscled human with a canine head. Their broad shoulders and meaty fists mark Hound Archons as able combatants, while their strong legs indicate that fleeing enemies won’t get very far.
