	'''Breath ~~attack~~''' is a [[special ability]] that allows a creature to attack creatures positioned on two hexes adjacent to one another, inflicting individual damage to the creatures on either hex. Creatures that are two hexes wide do not suffer double damage from the breath attack. Although creatures with breath attack specialty cannot directly attack allied creatures, they can—similar to {{Cnu\|Lich\|Power Lich\|name=Liches and Power Liches}}' [[Death Cloud]] and {{Cn\|Magog}}s' [[Fireball Attack]]—cause damage to allied creatures located on the second hex. In other words, breath attack will also damage the hero's own troops if they are standing directly behind the attacked hex.
