BECMI Zephyr Hounds [Part III]

Plasma Hound

These hounds are among the most powerful of all; they are composed not of elemental material but of the very energy which creates those elements. Reality itself warps around them as they move; their sheer presence is enough to bend and twist the phlogiston from which the world is made.

They breathe balls of plasma which disrupt the fabric of creation, equivalent to an explosive cloud spell.

Air Hound

Swirling vapours are all that these creatures seem to be created from, and they float through the air like the most immaterial of clouds. Noxious gases accompany them, stinging the eyes and throat.

Chaos Hound

These beings take on an ever-changing, immaterial form which at once appears to be a table, an elephant, a snake, a cup, a cloud, and everything else that exists. And yet somehow they always seems to do so in the shape of a hound.

Chaos hounds breathe a cone of chaos, which combines the effects of a confusion and polymorph other spell. Victims are polymorphed into a random creature (roll on random dungeon encounter table, level 1).
