Houndoom
The flame It breathes is actually a volatile poison it produces internally that ignites when exposed to air. Its howls were thought by ancient people to be the call of Death.
Mega Houndoom
Houndoom’s entire body generates heat when it Mega Evolves. Its fearsome fiery breath turns its opponents to ash.
