Hellhounds Species in The Snakeheart Series | World Anvil

Hellhounds

Hellhounds are protective Demons and powerful shapeshifters who have been tortured and bonded with an unsuspecting living human host that retains its life and free will. However, whenever the Hellhound takes control, the host will black out and remember little to no details.   Thus, they are vicious, incredibly strong human-demon hybrid creatures whose purpose is to guard and protect Lucifer Morningstar's interests in the supernatural world. Their primary duty is to make sure this world remains hidden from human world. As such, they are immune to most supernatural powers and forces. Hellhounds are often dispatched when Humans, Human Sensitives, or members of The Fallen (threaten to) interfere with Lucifer's designs.   The arch-enemy of Hellhounds are the Angels.
