Description


A Hellhound is a monstrous canine, leashed to the spiritual world. Nicknamed “Bearer of Death” in some parts of the world. They can often be found guarding the entryways to the afterlife, or skulking in the shadows hunting those who is soon to die and harvest their soul. There are two kinds of hellhounds the guardians and the soul hunters.



Physical Description: The Hellhounds appearance varies from region to region,by size and and eye color but wherever they arise, tales for fear arise. These phantom canines are considerably larger than a normal dog. A small Hellhound is about the size of a mastiff, while a large one can be the size of dwarf horses and bears. Their hair is a deep black, and their eyes tend to glow.The higher ranked (or elder?) individuals may have multiple heads or rarer still have no head at all. All hellhounds have a black mane.


Special Abilities: The hounds have many supernatural skills that make them both powerful allies and fearsome enemies. They have incredible speed and strength, even for large predatory animals like themselves. The fastest of hellhounds can outrun the fastest of creatures, and the strongest can rip down trees with their claws. They can easily disguise themselves, able to conjure up cloaks of mist, shape shift into various forms, or even vanish.

The hounds are also able to conjure flames. They scorch the ground where they walk, their body is an uncomfortably hot temperature, and their claw heat is similar to that of weapons being forged. The hound can conjure up pillars of fire to transport themselves from place to place though any lit fire. 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 and worthy of the name “Bearer of Death”.

While considered a bad omen, the hellhound has often helped many as well. The supernatural dog was said to warn people of danger

There are two classes of hellhounds, the most common one seen however is the Hunter class. Guardians and Hunters, each having their own specifications to them.



Guardians:

Guardian hellhounds share a common trait amongst themselves. They are seen as loyal, dependable, and responsible. They are known to be the lesser of the two types. Though still have the normal abilities of a casual hellhound. Guardians, as you can imagine, are reclusive. Loving to dwell further away from other monsters, and of course, humans. They prefer sticking close to home, such as the being or place they are protecting.

Guardian hellhounds are more sizable compared to the Hunters. Being more built and slightly more muscular to the Hunters (this is not a Bel/Dag/Amt requirement). Guardians usually are the ones that protect or is more protective of their possessions that are they are guarding it can come from anywhere from a person to a place or a group that they will protect.

How to tell if the hound is a Guardian:

Guardians are commonly lighter on the color spectrum, hitting the lower shades of red. Black and gold are the colors that this type will use for its markings. This helps in aiding them in keeping themselves hidden and stick to the shadows.



Soul Hunters:

Soul Hunters have a stronger presence in a leadership category. They guide those who wish to follow, whether it be monster, man, or spirit. Not all guardians are leaders though.

This class of hellhound is known to be more aggressive. Challenging those who are willing to continue pursuing a fight with them. Though they don’t particularly like being around others and dwelling in the shadows. If you are lucky enough to get close to one they may be willing to pick a good fight.

They seek out those who are ill or dying, knowing that they will soon pass and they can obtain their next meal.

How to tell if the hound is a Hunter:

Hunters are known to be on the darker scale of reds. White and gold are commonly seen etched across the body of these hounds. Though it makes them more noticeable, they are still as reclusive as Guardians.



Elders:

Elders are he five oldest members of the race. After years of being a hellhound, Elder can be achieved by showing both qualities of the two subraces. These hellhounds are allowed to wear both black, white, gold markings. Their black fur contains some white fur from age. Elders are able to paint up as a darker or lighter red
