Hellhound
Hellhounds are large (about the size of a small pony) dog-like demons with burning coals for eyes and fur from jet-black to dirty dried blood. Like many “lesser demons” they are not very intelligent, but they do possess an animal cunning that makes them dangerous. They also possess the ability to seek out the souls of those who belong in Hell or who have been targeted by a specific Lord of Hell. Once they find them, they swiftly return to their home with their target firmly grasped between their jaws.
