The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Hellhounds are aggressive, violent dogs that can and do serve demons. They commonly appear to kill a person who has made a deal with a crossroads demon allowing the person's soul to be harvested by Hell. In the days proceeding the end of a person's time, they will appear to the victim in dreams. The person will also hallucinate, and be able to see the true face of demons when they are possessing humans. Their origins date back to sometime after the Leviathans were locked away in Purgatory and before humanity was created. They are also used to hunt down renegade demons and drag them back to Hell.

Hellhounds typically have features such as an unnaturally large size, a black fur color, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, and sometimes even the ability to talk and smell of burning brimstone. They tend to leave behind a burned area wherever they go. Their eyes are a deep, bright, and almost glowing red. Hellhounds are often associated with fire, and may have fire-based abilities and appearances. They are often assigned to guard the entrance to the world of the dead or undertake other duties related to the afterlife or the supernatural, such as hunting down lost souls or guarding a supernatural treasure.

While considered a bad omen, the hellhound has often helped many as well. The supernatural dog was said to warn people of danger and protect them when they needed it. The dog is often very loyal to those who call upon one and is said to be very watchful. While the creatures are often known as evil, they are not as evil as one would suggest. Hellhounds not only are guards for cemeteries but they are often seen as helper dogs for those who are about to pass. But they also can show up to said loved ones and sort of inform them or a loved ones passing.

Omen of Death

Seeing a hellhound or hearing one howl may be an omen or even a cause of death. Hellhounds are called The Bearers of Death because they were supposedly created by ancient demons to serve as heralds of death. According to legend, seeing one leads to a person's death. Sometimes it is said to be once; other times it requires three sightings for the curse to take effect and kill the victim. These factors make the Hellhound a feared symbol of bad things that are about to happen.

Other variations of Hellhound Lore

The Hellhound, also known as the Black Dog or the Bearer of Death, is a species of a mortal supernatural spirit who possesses the bodies of humans upon being reborn on Earth in order to complete their destined missions. They possess pyrokinetic and thermokinetic powers and are said to be the guardian of the supernatural world, making it their duty to make sure this world remains a secret to the human world. They are neither good nor evil, being utterly neutral and focused only on their "natural" duty. Hellhounds ride the storm with the Ghost Riders of the Wild Hunt, though their specific role within in the Hunt remains a mystery as of now. The vessel of a Hellhound often has no idea of this fact. Because the Hellhound is a creature of the night, the transformation into their Hellhound form usually happens after nightfall, during which point it typically completely takes over its human host, repressing the host's spirit until their job is done for the evening. The transformation has thus far been shown to be a sort of blackout, where the person usually has no memories of what they did while the Hellhound was in control. However, the Hellhound is also capable of fully merging with its host, allowing the host conscious control over its powers so they can have a more equal relationship while still completing their mission.
