A Diabolic Monster from the Celestial Codex.

Historical Data

In mythology, a hellhound or barghest is a demonic dog of Hell, referring especially to Cerberus, the hound of Hades from Greek mythology. They also appear in the mythology of the British Isles as part of the Wild Hunt. The myth is common across the UK, and many names are given to the apparitions: Black Shuck of East Anglia, Moddey Dhoo of the Isle of Man, Gwyllgi of Wales, and so on. Hellhounds are a common monstrous creature in fantasy fiction, such as the titular creatures of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles and Frank Belknap Long's Cthulhu Mythos-related "The Hounds of Tindalos".

Amtgard Description

The Hounds of Hell are lumbering, toothy canines of demonic visage and ruthless temperament. Only powerful Undead lords, demons and Anti-Paladins can command these fell beasts, for it takes an especially diabolic outlook to properly raise any animal that thrives on living flesh and the screams of the tormented dying. Most Hellhounds serve a dark master of some kind, but tales of free-range packs of these evil monstrosities abound.

Garb

Red or black garb, tails and dog ears. Spiked leather collar.

Statistics
