'''Kroot Hound Packs''' are large groups of [[Kroot]] and '''Kroot Hounds''' that work together. Often the Kroot attack and break the enemy's morale, and then the Kroot Hounds are unleashed onto the retreating unit.{{Fn|1}}
Kroot Hounds are an evolutionary dead-end (Niche Trophic), but unlike other dead-ends they are not hunted to extinction by other Kroot. It is likely a Kindred consumed too many quadrupedal animals and changed into Kroot Hounds. They can be released into combat and have their own special attacks.{{Fn|1}}

The [[Kroot]] provided these hounds to [[Tau Commander|Commander]] [[O'Kais]] as a gift for liberating their homes in the '''Rhean Floodlands'''.{{Fn|5}} During the [[T'au Empire]] 's campaign on [[Kaurava]], [[Shas'O]] [[Or'es'Ka]] would use '''a Kroot Hunting Pack''' to chase down select pray he marks marked for death.{{Fn|6}}
