Gravhounds
Every confirmed Gravhound in the co-op action builder: the bio-engineered demo crew Selene, Zane, Dozer and Finn, their roles, strengths and how each one changes the way your pack plays.
Introduction
The Gravhounds are the bio-engineered canine workers you control in GRAVHOUNDS — loyal, obedient and dropped onto hostile planets as expendable extractors. For the October demo, the developer has confirmed a crew of four playable characters: Selene, Zane, Dozer and Finn. Official material confirms their names and their slot in the demo roster, but it does not yet publish full ability lists or stat sheets, so this page carefully separates what we know from what the community suspects. The developer has also stated that more Gravhounds are planned for Early Access. Until launch tuning reveals real balance, treat every role read here as a first-impression guide rather than a finished meta, and check the tier list page for the community-data caveats.

Core Mechanics
Every Gravhound is a player character with a loadout, abilities and upgrade slots that can be reshaped mid-shift. The developer's core loop copy names one shared signature tool — the Grav Beam, which lets dogs fling objects and enemies across the battlefield — and each Gravhound builds around it with weapons, abilities and loadout bonuses unlocked during the shift. The four demo characters share the same deployment rules: any job, any planet, any squad size from one to four players. Because official stats have not been published, the demo build itself is currently the only reliable source for how each Gravhound feels in action, and impressions from the playtest community feed the analysis on this page. Early Access is expected to add more Gravhounds as the roster expands.
Advantages
Focusing on the four confirmed demo Gravhounds gives this page a small, verifiable roster rather than a sea of invented units. Every entry anchors to official announcements — the demo roster announcement, the developer's naming of the four characters and the roadmap promise of more Gravhounds to come. The page also centralizes the few published role-hints, such as Dozer's heavy-duty sounding name, while labeling community inferences instead of dressing them up as facts. For players deciding which Gravhound to pick for their first demo shift, the compact roster keeps the decision surface honest: pick a unit that matches your preferred job, then learn its mid-shift loadout. The same clarity carries into the tier list, which ranks this small roster without pretending the pre-launch data is final.
Challenges
The roster page carries two honest limitations. First, official details are thin: we have the four names and demo slot confirmations, but no published ability lists, stat values or role classifications, so anything beyond the names is community reading until launch. Second, balance is unstable by design — pre-launch demo impressions are a snapshot, and Early Access patches will rework loadouts, weapons and probably the Gravhound tier list within weeks. Readers should treat this page as a reliable index of what is confirmed and a cautious guide to how the crew plays right now. We will expand each Gravhound entry with verified data the moment official sources publish it, and we link every claim back to its source where possible.

Quick Tips
Do not marry one Gravhound before trying each demo unit on a scouting job. Official material confirms only names and roster slots, so how a unit actually feels — Grav Beam behavior, loadout inertia, survivability — only becomes clear in play. One low-risk job per unit is enough to build a personal shortlist before committing to a main.
Treat community role reads like Dozer's construction-leaning label as starting hypotheses, not facts. The developer has not published role classifications or stats, so strong opinions about 'best' units you see on forums are demo-impression chatter. Confirm what matters to you in the demo itself rather than trusting a pre-launch tier chart.
Respect the mid-shift loadout system when comparing units. GRAVHOUNDS lets you stack loadout bonuses and reshape abilities during a shift, so a 'weak' Gravhound can feel strong when built for the situation. Judge units after a real extraction run, not from the character-select screen. Skip the tier chart until you have at least one complete shift behind you per candidate.
