“a hellhound snaps out a giant paw and its claws rake the air mere inches from your spine before screeching away. The thing roars in outrage, thwarted, and then grunts as it forces its way through the roots and ground.”

» Hellhounds are demonic dogs born in Hell, who belong to demons.

» Only demons and exceptionally strong mages can summon and control them.

» Even though they can be summoned and sent after someone, they almost never attack innocent people. They're beings that get sent after people who've made pacts with devils and haven't paid the price. They don't go after random people, even if someone tells them to, unless they're under a strong spell.

» They hunt for souls.

» They're huge, wild dogs with red eyes. They look a bit like a mix between a dog and a bear. 

HOW TO FIGHT THEM

» There are wards that can keep hellhounds at bay.

» They can be killed by a dagger into their heart or their skull.

» Once killed, they turn into ash.
