Houndeye
In the science fiction computer game Half-Life, the houndeye or sound dog is an excellent example of a pack animal. Apparently possessing only a thorax, the houndeye is a faint yellow-green in colour, with electric blue tiger-like stripes adorning the spine of the animal. In place of a head there is a large, black, apparently compund eye that is protected by a single eyelid. While a shy and timid creature away from its group, posses of three or more creatures they display resonant behaviour, emitting destructive harmonics capable of rupturing the internal organs of their prey. Deafness and migraine headaches are examples of symptoms reported by survivors of houndeye attacks. However, if well-fed, they will not engage in harmonic behavior except when threatened.
