<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>You have never seen anything quite like a vapor hound, so you are not really sure what to make of it or how dangerous it might be.</pre><br />
<br />
;Assess<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The vapor hound is medium in size and about three feet high in its current state.</pre><br />
<br />
==Hunting Strategies==<br />
Vapor hounds like [[night hound]]s have a breath attack that causes a cloud to form and linger in the air. Breathing the gas will cause damage over time for each round that a character remains in its vicinity. The spell [[Purify Air (207)]] will negate the effects of the cloud. Once killed, any active cloud created by a vapor hound will immediately dissipate harmlessly. Note that the Raining Caves area is also <br />
inhabited by [[wind witch]]es which cast [[gas cloud]]s.<br />
<br />
==Combat Messaging==<br />
;[[Claw (attack)]]<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A vapor hound claws at you!<br />
AS: +202 vs DS: +607 with AvD: +38 + d100 roll: +26 = -341<br />
A clean miss.</pre><br />
<br />
;[[Bite (attack)]]<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A vapor hound tries to bite you!<br />
AS: +192 vs DS: +329 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +37 = -65<br />
A clean miss.</pre><br />
<br />
;Breath attack<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}><br />
A vapor hound opens its mouth with a yawning sigh, letting out a blast of green vapors at you!<br />
<br />
You are unaffected.<br />
You notice the vapor hound's breath hangs in the air.<br />
A vapor hound tries to bite you!<br />
<br />
You notice the vapor hound breath congeal into a billowing cloud of shadows.<br />
<br />
The shadowy cloud seeps languidly in your direction.<br />
CS: +72 - TD: +276 + CvA: +5 + d100: +74 == -125<br />
Warded off!<br />
You breathe in some of the gas...<br />
<br />
As your lungs fill with the dark cloudy substance, instantly your nervous system feels as though it was made of oil-soaked rags and touched with a match!<br />
<br />
The sensation leaves you quickly, but leaves an aftertaste of pain throughout your nervous system.<br />
... 12 points of damage!</pre><br />
==Other Information==<br />
*Vapor and night hound [[target defense]] (TD) is 25 points higher than their living counterparts (ice, storm and water hounds).<br />
*Vapor hounds can shake off stuns<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A Vapor hound howls in rage as it shakes off the stun.</pre><br />
*Each time a vapor hound emits a cloud of green vapors it will be immediately accompanied by a bite or claw physical attack. This dual attack is a characteristic of hounds ([[night hound|night]], [[ice hound|ice]], [[storm hound|storm]], vapor and [[water hound|water]]) in general.<br />

;Spawing<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>?</pre><br />
;Entering<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A vapor hound pads in, a fog of green vapor puffing from its nostrils.</pre><br />
;Leaving<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The vapor hound pads northwest, leaving a trail of chartreuse vapors behind it.</pre><br />
;Death<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>You hear a sound like a child weeping as a white glow separates itself from the vapor hound's body and rises into the heavens.<br />
The vapor hound lets out one last whimpering sigh of chartreuse vapors and dies.</pre><br />
;Decay<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A vapor hound decays into a compost of fur and fangs.</pre><br />
<br />
===Other Messaging===<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The vapor hound barks and shuffles backwards on its paws.<br />
The vapor hound sniffs at the air and growls low in the throat.</pre><br />
