Raising it
The Iron Hound comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,000 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters an Iron Hound every 1 minute 28 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 58.5 seconds at level 2 and 37.4 seconds at level 3.
Upgrades cost 1,350 gold to level 2 and 6,150 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.
Before it can be raised at all it has to be unlocked in the Armory, for 1,000 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
