Special Abilities
Barrow Howl (Su) Once every 1d4+1 rounds, a wight-hound can issue a terrible howl when it smells a living creature nearby. All undead creatures within 120 feet hearing the howl can make a single move action to advance toward the howling wight-hound as an immediate action, gaining +4 profane bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity while making this move.
Knockdown Pounce (Ex) When a wight-hound hits a Medium or smaller creature with its bite as a part of charge, it gets a free trip attempt that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. If the trip is successful, the target is knocked prone and the wight-hound occupies its space. As long as the wight-hound stays the target's space, the victim has to succeed a CMB check as a standard action to push the wight-hound away or an Escape Artist check as a move action to crawl away before standing up.

Wight-hounds were favored beasts of ancient lords that followed their masters beyond the death, buried in the same barrows, and now reanimated by the same dark magics. They guard their master's burial places, harassing trespassers and alerting other wights of intrusions. Occasionally, they and their foul masters leave their barrows to hunt the escaping thief and cow those leaving nearby into leaving offerings for the dead.
