	Night hounds have a breath attack, and attack similarly to other hounds (casting a spell and following with an immediate attack). This breath attack causes a cloud to form in the air, which lingers and can cause damage over time for each round that a player stays in its vicinity. Casting [[Purify Air (207)]] on a character will negate the effects of this cloud. Once killed, any active cloud created by a night hound will immediately dissipate harmlessly.
