Trivia
- Hellhounds first appeared in the base game from Descent: Journeys in the Dark (first edition).
- They used to have the Aura X ability in their conversion Kit version, which allowed them to inflict 1 damage each time a hero entered a space adjacent to this monster. In Act 2, they also got their pierce reduced from 4 to 3 for the master, while the minions gained 1 more hit point in both acts.
