hell hound
Underworld guard dog
A hell hound is a monstrous dog from the underworld, often depicted with glowing eyes, supernatural strength, and association with death or the devil.
The image appears across mythologies and persists in fantasy fiction and games.
Figuratively, a hellhound is someone who pursues relentlessly or viciously: creditors hounding him like hellhounds.
