HELL HOUND

A typical hell hound stands 4–5 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 120-200 pounds. Efficient hunters, a favorite pack tactic is to surround prey quietly, then attack with one or two hounds, driving prey toward the rest of the pack with their fiery breath. If the prey doesn’t run, the pack closes in. Hell hounds are particularly favored by fire giants, as the creatures are immune to fire and share the fire giant’s sense of cruelty when it comes to handling intruders. 

Breath Weapon. (minor) A hell hound breathes a jet of flame at the creature it intends to attack with it's bite attack just before taking the bite attack. The creature must make a Dexterity save vs. Breath or take 1 hit point of fire damage per hit die of the hell hound (save for half damage). This is considered magical fire with respect to resistances, yet it is normal fire for the purposes of item saving throws. Thus, the flame will ignite flammables but other items are not required to make saving throws.

Sense Invisible. All hell hounds have a 50% chance (d%; 01-50) to sense invisible or hiding/camouflaged creatures within 60-ft.
