Creature 9 — beast, fiend, fire, unholy
CrasherFlankerLANDbeastfiendfireunholy
Believed to be bred by the Kings of Hell themselves within vast kennels, greater hell hounds are the favored guards and hunting hounds of powerful fiends and, rarely, mortals who worship them and have earned their favor. Hell hounds are fiendish, extraplanar canines hailing from the Pit that can hunt down quarry and breathe supernatural gouts of flame. They are temperamental and quick to exhibit aggressive behavior.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline body that holds a target in place lets the reach-based pack bonus trigger reliably while both allies pressure the same target.
SnareLANDA controller that clusters or roots foes turns the wide cone breath into a near-guaranteed multi-target hit.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker can finish off targets the breath weapon has already softened without competing for the same melee space.
