Hell Hound (BB)

Creature 3 — beast, fiend, fire, unholy

CrasherFlankerLANDfiendfire

Temperamental and quick to aggressive behavior, hell hounds are fiendish canines from a hellish plane. They're skilled hunters and can breathe gouts of flame from their maws. A hell hound's appearance leaves no doubts as to its infernal origins—flesh the color of burning pitch, teeth as sharp as any fiend's pitchfork, and a shroud of ever-burning hellfire are all trademark features. Though they can't speak, they understand Diabolic, the language of Hell.
