| − | The list of misfortunes that can befall the inhabitants of a village includes plague, war, and taxes. The worst misfortune, however, entails the appearance of a ghostly hellhound known simply as "'''The Beast'''." Many bad things can be said about this creature, but they all come down to two things: blood and pain. Lots of blood. And lots of pain. |

Peasants believe that the hellhound embodies the vengeance of the gods, who send the Beast to punish humans for their wickedness."'' |

||
| − | Immune to most effects; it is a corporeal creature, so knockdown or stun attempts are possible, yet rarely successful. |

||
| − | Sensitive to [[Steel Swords in The Witcher (computer game)|steel]]; the [[Witcher fighting styles#Fast Style|Fast Style]] is most effective against hellhounds. |

| − | == Tactics == |
||
| − | Able to summon [[barghests]]; a hellhound traps its victims in a circle of fire and proceeds to tear them to pieces. |

| − | * You can run to the spot between the house and that little building beside it. That area is small enough to rest in without being attacked while your vitality is restored. |
||
| − | * I found an article indicating that if you take the "[[Character Development Aard#Level One|Stun]]" hero ability on your [[Aard]] you have a chance to stun the beast and kill him in one blow. |

| − | * [[Specter Oil]] might work, too. |
