Do warhound bodies found count towards chaos

dishonored

If you kill a hound (and no one sees you do it), yet they see the dead hound's body, does this raise chaos? I understand that killing it does not, but I am not sure if say a guard sees a dead wolfhound will affect your chaos level. (I REMAIN UNDETECTED THROUGHOUT)

Best Answer

Wolfhound kills do not count towards Chaos, but they can detect your character and will count towards that. They can also discover bodies, as well as their corpse will count towards “bodies found”.
