Notable Hellhounds

 * Loona
 * Vortex
 * Stolas' bodyguards

Appearance


Hellhounds are anthropomorphic demons that resemble canines or canine-like carnivorans, taking after one specific breed or species for their appearance, with some looking like wolves, and others like more traditional domesticated dog breeds, such as Dobermen and huskies. Hellhounds thus far all share distinguishable ears, tails, and muzzles specific to their type.

Abilities

 * Human Disguise: Some Hellhounds have been shown to be able to don a human appearance on Earth. These disguises typically retain some traits of their true demon forms, in the case of Vortex's his scarred eye is prominently featured.
 * Enhanced senses: Hellhounds appear to have an extrasensory type of smell for tracking a target by sniffing an item that identifies them. Loona, for instance, smelled a hitlist of the humans for the I.M.P and could detect where they were by their scent.

Trivia

 * The hellhound is a folkloric creature tracing back to Greek mythology; described as a species of supernatural canid of the underworld, the hellhound traditionally features black fur, red eyes, and ghoulish characteristics. They are often assigned to tasks involving the afterlife, such as guarding the entrances to the world of the dead or hunting lost souls. Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the god of the underworld, Hades, was considered a hellhound. In post-classical European cultures, they were considered an omen of death.
 * Hellhounds are one of the few species of demon shown to have visible ears, with the only other exception being certain damned former humans, such as Mrs. Mayberry, and a few succubi, featuring pointed ears.
 * Since the start of Season 2, Hellhounds have been revealed to come in many different variants in terms of appearance, similar to regular dogs.
