Hellhound (Basic Lore)

Hellhound (CR 7)
Lawful Evil - Medium - Outsider (Fire, Lawful, Evil)
Coal black dogs wreathed in hellish flame, hellhounds are monstrous beasts often found as pets of the mighty and dreadful. On the Prime Material, Hellhounds in the wild can be found in wastelands, deserts, barren mountains, volcanoes, etc. They are hardy, canny, and good hunters. Hellhounds typically lair within a badland and raid out to search for prey. Hellhounds view humans and other humanoids as prey, along with domestic animals, children of all species, and pretty much anything else they can catch. Hellhounds can also gain sustenance from fires, and a pack of hellhounds moving into a forest will soon reduce it to a wasteland unless they are stopped.
