The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
The stone mastiff is a huge grey dog that seems to be formed of living stone. The mastiff is rectangular in shape, and the length of the mastiff from forechest to rear is around five feet. Massive and heavy boned, with a powerful muscle structure, this stone mastiff presents a formidable foe.
Hunting strategies
An absolute must hunt for sorcerers. Be sure to take a wizard with you and the pair of you can wreak havoc on the mastiffs. Most of the time you can single shot these with Dark Catalyst. So be prepared to have your wizard friend to send you lots of mana.
Stone Mastiffs are immune to fire damage, water damage, and ice damage. They are also immune to the Bone Shatter spell, but can be affected by Harm and Empathic Assault.
They have a maneuver attack that can knock you over and give roundtime.
Other information
Mastiffs require a blunt weapon to skin. (With enough ranks of First Aid, you can skin them with a dagger.)
