Ninja Speed. The hound can take the dash, dodge, and disengage actions as a bonus action, and can move along vertical surfaces. Canine.

If the hound casts this Jutsu while submerged in a liquid, the Jutsu carries it to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round. Additionally, its movement speed increases by half its total (rounded down), and attacks of opportunity against it have disadvantage. Leaf Rock-Destroying Rise (4 Chakra). As a bonus action, the hound unarmed strikes deal twice as much damage to objects, and half as much damage to creatures, until the beginning of its next turn. Iron Mountain Leaning (3 Chakra).

At the end of each of its turns, the target must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, it's no longer on fire. If the target or a creature within 5 feet of it uses an action to put out the flames, or if some other effect douses the flames (such as the target being submerged in water), it is no longer on fire.
