Hellhound – Fire Guardian
In-game bio: “Hellhound's remaining head is responsible for following instructions and sneaking in bites when no one's watching. Each of the three heads has a distinct role, and their combined flames can even melt steel.”

How to use Hellhound
Deploy Hellhound in the front row, where it absorbs the first Zobos of each wave. As a Fire Tatari it should face Grass Zobos and avoid lanes with Water Zobos — the game shows a green thumb when the match-up is right. Its skill hits an area, so it likes lanes where Zobos bunch up. Hellhound is T3 — the line gets its full kit at Pyrodaemon, so treat this form as a stepping stone.
Tier verdict for the Pyropup line (S): Strongest Fire frontline: fire pillars at T1 become Hellhound's massive AoE with Weaken and Pyrodaemon's Aura: Fire. Wiki strategy rates it above Ashlarva as a tank; with Sparkit behind it a Fire lane clears Grass waves easily.
Pyropup line Horde Invasion skills
In Zobo Horde Invasion every Tatari learns three extra skills at Horde levels 3, 5 and 7; they are shared by the whole Pyropup line (only the base skill differs per form).
| Base | Pyro Pillar: Summons a fire pillar, dealing AoE damage. |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | Fire Serpent: Attacks have a chance to summon extra fire pillars that extend outward randomly. |
| Level 5 | Flame Halo: Periodically creates rings of fire orbs, dealing DoT damage in an area to nearby enemies. |
| Level 7 | Hellflame: Continuously summons powerful flame pillars in the surrounding area. |
Horde verdict (S): Level 5 "Flame Halo" rings nearby enemies with DoT and level 7 "Hellflame" keeps summoning flame pillars around it — a frontline that clears its own lane. Counters the Grass bosses at waves 4, 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 35.
