Yuillegan:
Yeah, like Drakul. But not some basic monster.

It's an Outsider.
Even if it's not one of their Walkers or other major figures, it's still an unreasonably-tough target for magic; not a "basic monster."
Yuillegan:
Well, I am pretty sure Drakul is also an Outsider but anyway - it might no be a 'basic' monster, but it seems like a relatively low-level Outsider, which Goblins and other Fae seemed to be able to kill.
And from what Jim has said about Eb, he was even wilder and more gung-ho than Harry!
Unless the Cornerhound is specifically deadly in a certain way to Wizards or something, I don't really see why Eb would be more afraid in this situation than taking on Vampires or Demons or Faeries etc.
EDIT: (click to show/hide)The Cornerhound when googled comes up with "Hounds of Tindalos". This is highly interesting. Hounds of Tindalos are Lovecraftian beasts that are too foul to be described, but vaguely hound-like. Interestingly, they inhabit the angles of time, whereas humans inhabit the curves. Once a human is known to one of these creatures, they will pursue it through anything. A person risks attracting their attention by travelling through time. Corners have angles. I would be willing to bet these are the same creatures. Which WOULD make them more deadly than a regular Outsider. And they are terrifying. But if they are interested in Dresden or Eb, one of them might have time-travelled this book! We might see evidence of Time Travel this book! And its does materialise in a sever angle; a corner - which is how the Hounds of Tindalos appear.

Physically. By throwing a ton of expendable cannon fodder at them.
Ebenezar or any non-Starborn wizard are going to have a different issue there. And even Harry has had more practice resisting their mental attacks from the Walkers than sticking evocations to goon outsiders up to this book.
Yuillegan:
SK - see my edit above. I have revised my position somewhat.
