Dragonslayer Hound

Clad in a bone-like exoskeleton armor, this dog sniffs you up and down before moving onto the next capture. It howls and the man next to your transforms into a dragon. The hound pounces on its quarry.

Dragonslayer - A dragonslayer hound has very specialized combat training. It gets a +4 bonus to attack against dragons, including dragon adjacent creatures or creatures with a draconic affinity.

Flash Fire (Su) - A dragonslayer hound can redirect fire effects, similar to how the Lightning Rod technique functions as an immediate action if the effect originates within 60 ft of it. Spells such as Fireblast are now centered on the hound while AoE spells are directed towards the hound instead of their intended direction.

Against dragon breath weapons specifically, a dragonslayer hound can use this ability as an instant action. When it does so, it turns the effect into a line attack directed towards itself, regardless of the original direction and shape of the ability.
