Index: Hellhound

Demon | Fire | Mythical Beast | Shadow

Hellhound

The smell of brimstone is accompanied by the outline of something foul emerging from the darkness. It appears to be some kind of wolf at first glance, before you see that the fur (if any) has receded and thinned, revealing black or red flesh that looks more like toughened hide. The creature's features are gnarly and jagged, and it's eyes burn with a red fire that leaves a trail with every slight movement.

Heck Doggie.

Actions

Attacks | ◈ per, up to 2 a turn

The Hellhound spends actions to attack with it's fangs. They will often use their movement first to catch enemies off guard, surrounding them on two or multiple sides.

Bite | ◈ | Melee Natural Weapon Attack | +4 to hit | Hit: 6 ( 1d6+2 ) Piercing damage and 8 2d6 damage, half being Shadow and half being Fire (rounded up).

Hellfire Breath : ~3.0|2⥣|1d6⟳| | ◈◈ | Targets Reflex

The Hellhound exhales hellfire in a 15 ft cone. Each creature in that area must attempt a Reflex saving throw. The DC is equal to 14 (or 10 + Proficiency + CON). Each creature that fails takes 20 3d12 damage (or, damage equal to 1d12 x TL), with half the damage being Fire and the Other half being Shadow. On a successful save and critically successful save, they take half or no damage, respectively.
Escalation⥣ and Recharge⟳
Escalation⥣: This action only starts being used after Escalation 3, or Round 3. This creature's Escalation count goes up each time the creature becomes Blockstunned.
Recharge⟳: Once used, this action takes 1d6 rounds before it can be used again. This count goes down once per round.

-Tactics-

The Hellhound is a canine infused with the power of, well, the hells or similar planes. While not apex predators, they make up the wildlife of Low places and dangerous lands. Hellhounds fight in packs and fight to the death, no matter what or who engages with them.
