==Variants==
There are several variants of the Hellhound which replace the Inferno Cannon with alternate armaments.
====Bane Wolf====
The Bane Wolf uses a [[Chem Cannon]]. Bane Wolves are used when the complete eradication of the enemy is warranted, as they smother their targets in broiling clouds of noxious gas that dissolve organic material in moments. The victims' blood boils in their own veins and their flesh sloughs from one as the mixture of toxins do their horrific work{{Fn|2a}} before rendering even that down into a bubbling pool of rank, festering ooze.{{Fn|4}}

====Devil Dog====
The Devil Dog uses a [[Melta Cannon]]. Devil Dogs are able to tear through heavy troops and armoured tanks in short order.{{Fn|2a}} Instead of promethium Devil Dog uses pyrum-petroleum based mix. Sitting adjacent to its melta cannon, injectors within its weapons systems combine the two chemicals into a chamber.{{Fn|4}} When this highly volatile combination is fired through its melta cannon, it make a high pitched howl as moisture in the air vaporises, becoming a roaring blast as the target detonates.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|4}}

==NotesTrivia=={{trivia}}
In its original incarnation, the Hellhound was not based upon the Chimera chassis, consisting instead of a tall guntower atop an armored tracked body. The tower mounted a front-facing [[Dragon Firethrower]], giving the tank its nickname.{{Fn|6}}
