Shan appears briefly as one of the Hounds, a long, sleek black creature with glowing red eyes. It is encountered close by, lying near its observer and growling. The text offers no further history or later development for Shan.
Description
Shan is a long, sleek Hound with a lean, streamlined body and a coat of deep black. Its most striking feature is a pair of glowing red eyes that lend its stillness an unnerving intensity. It carries itself close to the ground, with a watchful, predatory presence.
