It stands nearly as tall as a human, and its eyes burn with yellow flame. Its tongue and teeth are pitch-black, and flames flicker and dance around its rocky snout as it breathes. When killed, the massive beast erupts in an explosive ring of fire. Some spellcasters claim basalt warhound packs can be summoned from the edges of the various elemental planes bordering the Material Plane, but other say the beast can smell out tunnels into the world so it can roam \xe2\x80\x93 and hunt \xe2\x80\x93 freely.'
