Description: These are under a Dominate Monster effect. Two will (reluctantly) follow you around as allies if you make a pact with Seriach the Hound Whisperer. They won't follow you out of the Amber Temple.

On Epic Reaper R1 they had a CR of 57.

Be warned that certain spellcasting monsters can remove the Dominate effect with Dispel Magic or similar effects - this is especially common with Jakarion's Fiery Vengeance. If this happens, the hellhounds will turn on you! (Incidentally, it is necessary for this to happen if you want the monster's MM entry - it will not count if the monster dies while still charmed!)
