B, most definately. The talent only fires blood to stop a creature from breathing. Hunters, don't breath. Hounds, don't breath. Hound Masters, don't breath.

I agree with Specter. Hounds don't breathe, so they can't be harmed by things that try to suffocate them.

Well, they aren't exactly "alive"....they're like golems...


they're alive, they just have the mentality of a golem.

under the nightlords matter/energy powers said it could be used to make living creatures "like the hounds/hunters" in nightlands.

they ARE alive, but serve the same function as golems.

they're not normal creatures but unless it says they don't have to breath they do. only a very few supernatural creatures don't have to breath, and the Hounds arn't one of 'em.

in Between the Shadows there is the Spook Squad sub-squad that eats the blood of Hounds becoming gradually crazier but stronger. their blood is highly addictive. if they have blood, they have organs. if they have organs, they breathe. if they breathe, they can be bloodbathed.

Having organs doesn't necessarily mean that you breathe. We don't know what organs it refers to. It may not include lungs.

Even blood, used to transport oxygen, may not necessarily do so in the case of some species. Since it transfers other things like vitamins, minerals, sugars, amino acids, lipids, etc.

The assumption that all things breathe unless otherwise indicated (even if the thing is a weird mechanical armor looking thing) is probably a good one though.

well if they have flesh, are alive and do not explicitly state they do not breathe....I think we can safely infer that they breathe

not to mention they would probablly have "Immune to gases" if they don't breath.

While they're alive, I'm not totally clear on whether or not they have flesh. I always pictured them as suits of armor with blood and organs inside them. I assume the armor IS their flesh.

The armor is said to be an exoskeleton, actually. it's bone, not flesh.
