Its attack: the charge. It is quick (wind-up 0.55 s, then 2.4 s before the next).
Ember Hounds are weak to ice and holy but shrug off fire. They're quick with their charge: sidestep when they lower their heads, then hit back while they catch their breath. Cleansed, they turn back into friendly animals.
It runs away for a while below 20% health. Cleansed, it turns back into a friendly animal and wanders home.
