 As well, hellhounds will break their chains and intrude upon the natural world, where they may remain for years until killed or reclaimed by their masters.  This has given rise to many stories in many cultures, of hellbeast dogs that prey upon lone travellers, who when hunted down disappear like a fog in the night.

 Hellhounds are difficult to approach without their being aware of it, so that they are '''surprised only on a 1''' in 6.  When stalking their victims on the other hand, these hounds are very capable of being stealthy, so that prior to their first attack,  they '''surprise on a 1-4'''.
-Hellhounds have very powerful '''jaws'''.  When a hound rolls a [[Critical Hits & Fumbles|natural 20]], the damage done is quadruple, not double; each successive 20 then increases this multiplier by 1, so that a second 20 would mean quintuple damage and a third would be hextuple.
+Hellhounds have very powerful jaws that '''snap''', causing greater damage.  When a hound rolls a [[Critical Hits & Fumbles|natural 20]], the damage done is quadruple, not double; each successive 20 then increases this multiplier by 1, so that a second 20 would mean quintuple damage and a third would be hextuple.
 Most potent of all, hellhounds are known to '''breathe fire'''.  This is not a natural fire, nor does it spring forth from the hound's body.  This is [[Magical Fire|magical fire]], which passes into and through the hound's body from the plane of Hell, rushing forth from the beast's mouth when it is pressed in combat.  The fire bursts forth in a surge one [[Combat Hex|hex]] wide and two hexes long, causing 4-14 damage to all in its path.  This damage is halved if a [[Saving Throws|save vs. breath weapon]] succeeds.  There is a 50% chance the hell hound will breathe each round; it is able to breathe fire '''and''' attack with its bite and claws in the same round, so that this creature is especially dangerous in a fight.
