In NetHack and SLASH'EM, a hell hound d is a monster associated with fire. In SLASH'EM, it might be most familiar as the pet of a Flame Mage, after it grows from a hell hound pup.
The NetHack database describes hell hounds this way:
- "Hell hounds are fire-breathing canines from another plane of existence brought here in the service of evil beings. A hell hound resembles a large hound with rust-red or red-brown fur, and red, glowing eyes. The markings, teeth, and tongue are soot black. It stands two to three feet high at the shoulder and has a distinct odour of smoke and sulphur. The baying sounds it makes have an eerie, hollow tone that sends a shiver through any who hear them."
Hell hounds as pets
Hell hounds typically fight in melee, like other dogs.
In previous versions
In versions of NetHack from Hack 1.0.2 through NetHack 3.0.10, a hell hound can be found inside the room in which the Wizard of Yendor is hiding with the Amulet of Yendor. These hell hounds do not have breath weapons until NetHack 3.0.0.
