The SendingStone review

The Hell Hound, a lawful evil creature with a challenge rating of 3, has impressive attributes such as natural armor with an AC of 15 and immunity to fire damage. However, with low charisma and intelligence scores, this creature lacks social skills and strategic thinking. Its strength lies in its physical prowess, with a constitution score of 14 and 45 hit points. Although it can be difficult to take down, its low dexterity score of 12 makes it vulnerable to agile opponents. Despite its weaknesses, this creature is a formidable opponent in combat.
