LoreEdit

Unofficial Description: A hell hound appears as a large, black dog. Sometimes the glow of fire can be seen in its mouth.

Other LoreEdit

 3.5e lore  [SRD3 OGL] [3] 
A typical hell hound stands 4-1/2 feet high at the shoulder and weighs 120 pounds. Hell hounds do not speak but understand Infernal. Hell hounds are efficient hunters. A favorite pack tactic is to surround prey quietly, then attack with one or two hounds, driving it toward the rest with their fiery breath. If the prey doesn’t run, the pack closes in. Hell hounds track fleeing prey relentlessly.
