A typical hell hound stands 4-1/2 feet high at the shoulder and weighs 120 pounds.

Hell hounds do not speak but understand Infernal.

===Combat===

Hell hounds are efficient hunters. A favorite pack tactic is to surround prey quietly, then attack with one or two hounds, driving it toward the rest with their fiery breath. If the prey doesn’t run, the pack closes in. Hell hounds track fleeing prey relentlessly.

A hell hound’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].

'''[[SRD:Breath Weapon|Breath Weapon]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' 10-foot cone, once every 2d4 rounds, damage 2d6 fire, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13 half. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''Fiery Bite ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A hell hound deals an extra 1d6 points of fire damage every time it bites an opponent, as if its bite were a [[SRD:Flaming|flaming weapon]].

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Hell hounds have a +5 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>They also receive a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Survival Skill|Survival]] checks when tracking by [[SRD:Scent|scent]], due to their keen sense of smell.
