Known Abilities

The hellhound is a very aggressive and dangerous predator that can be found in Skarlan. It is physically tough, and has a powerful bite attack as well as a fire breath attack. It does not fly and breathes air, although it does have some degree of night vision.

Like many canines, the hellhound tends to have some amount of subordination skill, which translates into a larger share of experience awarded when fighting, whether with the familiar only or with tamed hellhounds.

You will need roughly 102 tenacity and 196 killer instinct to bond one... mostly likely less but i wasn't able to for almost a week before these two got to those numbers. Ciao Ciao- Merun

Combat Bonuses

The consort is granted bonuses to attack and damage ratings from Tenacity and Tracking as long as their familiar is in the same room. The values are calculated by multiplying each skill's rating by current bond strength and some hidden factor.
