CEREBUSES have a moderate physical attack, and their SCORCH is weak but the damage will add up over time. Cold Spells are powerful, but you can survive their attacks while you take them down physically.

HYENAS first appear with OGRES, who they are similar to (though a bit more dangerous than) statistically. By the time you see them near Melmond, a few attacks from your front-line Warriors should take them out with ease.

Hellhounds can do decent damage with their normal attack, and also have a Blaze Special Attack that deals a small amount of Fire damage to the whole party. Beyond that, they are a fairly standard enemy with a decent number of HP but low Defense. For some reason, you cannot run from Hellhounds when they are paired with Ogre Mages. Hellhounds on their own are fairly likely to surprise the party, soaking up HP with their Blaze attacks.
