Useful Info

Hell hounds are fast and dangerous demonic canines, flaming beasts that arrive in packs and breathe fire (3d10). Fortunately they are almost unheard of outside of the Abyss, Pandemonium, and the Hells, and by the time you get there, they're nearly harmless. However, if you see them outside of those places and they're not guarding the entrance of the Lair, a Lair:6 vault, or some Volcano layout, that's almost always a sign that Azrael is near.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Fire Breath (3d10) Natural flag,
Breath flag

Tips & Tricks

Fire resistance helps. As with many fire-themed monsters, hitting them with cold damage works particularly well.
