History

Origins

One of the Wolf Lords of the Wolf-Men of Valusia (Elderspawn from Chthon), was Gramr, who was known as the "HELLhound."

He sired Garm, described as a Hellhound, who guards Hel.

It is unclear if the Fire-Giant Hel Wolf is to be considered a Hel-Hound.

Elder Earth

At the time of the "Elder Earth", Argon wished to hunt the Hound of Hell, but the beast was in fact a simple bait for the Devil to lure Argon in Hell and devour him.

Modern Age

Olivier Stoker possessed a pack of Hell-Hounds collectively known as the Cerberuses.

During the Fear, Loki invaded Hel and set his Hel Wolf upon Garm to distract her. This proved to be unnecessary: Eventually, they ceased fighting and mated, and Garm gave birth to a litter of seven pups, whom Hela delivered to Loki.
