Description
A dog buried in the corner of a temple or a graveyard will rise up as a Grim and will become its guardian. A grim will appear as a large dog regardless of its actual size in its previous life.
A grim is never surprised and will lurk invisibly and silently. A grim may only be hit with magical weapons. It is immune to charm, hold, Sleep, and illusion spells. It can see invisible beings and magic auras and it cannot be Turned. The lick of a grim can Cure (Cause) Light Wounds, Cure (Cause) Disease, and Neutralize Poison. The barking of a grim can Dispel Chaos (Law) (Chaos only). The howling of a grim can Turn undead as a 10th-level Cleric and can be heard a mile away.
