“You got Hell Hounds on your trail boy. Hell Hounds on your trail!”

***

Hell Hounds appear as gaunt and evil looking mastiffs, covered with an occasional wisp of flames. Their eyes emit a bright red glow. The claws, mouth, ears, and eye sockets of a Hell Hound appear as blackened charcoal. When a Hell Hound fights, the charcoal hued portions of their body heats up and glow bright red and their bodies emit a wreath of flames.

Hell Hounds are a special demon summoned for the sole purpose of tracking down victims chosen by greater demons or devils. They are often used for the purpose of bringing home to Hell those who have made a Devil’s Bargain home, so to speak. They have a voracious appetite, forcing them to live off the land, killing and eating whatever gets in their way. For this reason, anyone with Hell Hounds on his trail is a danger to others as well as himself. Those who are wise would do well to avoid such company.
