CuSith

CuSith is one of two death hounds living in Volkihar Keep, along with Garmr. Each can be used as a follower if you join the Volkihar vampires. They function exactly like the other animal followers, having only 'wait' and 'follow' as commands, following the typical behavior of running and attacking things on sight, and are allowed to be recruited in addition to an NPC follower.

Follower Dialogue

When first spoken to, the only option available is "Ready for some bloodshed, beast?" Selecting this, you are given the options of "Let's sate our hunger together.", which makes him your follower, or "Silence, cur. No meat for you today." which dismisses him. If gained as a follower, you have the option to tell him "Wait here." or "Time for you to head home." which dismisses him from your service.

Bugs

• Due to a bug in the voice files associated with male death hounds, they will show subtitles saying 'whine' or 'growl' but no sound will be heard. This applies to both CuSith and Garmr.
  • The Unofficial Dawnguard Patch, version 2.0.4, fixes this bug.
• Both of the death hound followers have the same stats and level as a normal death hound instead of the usual 10-25 level range on other dog followers. As a result they are quite weak compared to other dogs.
  • The Unofficial Dawnguard Patch, version 1.1.4, fixes this bug.

Notes

• Their name likely comes from Cù-sìth a canine from Irish and Scottish folklore.
