The Hellhound is a Hardmode, post-Plantera enemy summoned during the Pumpkin Moon event. It follows the Unicorn AI and will run quite fast at the player; the player will be barely able to outrun them with Lightning Boots. This can make them a very dangerous enemy.

The Hellhound is immune to all debuffs. Defeating a Hellhound adds 4 points while the Pumpkin Moon event is active.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Even though Hellhounds are immune to On Fire! debuff, they will still suffer damage while in lava.
Hellhounds cannot descend through platforms.

Tips[edit | edit source]

Due to the Hellhound's high health, it takes at least 5 hits from a Legendary The Horseman's Blade or 4-5 hits from a Legendary Terra Blade combined with its beam to kill it.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Hellhounds are mythical beasts, mentioned in the folklore of various cultures, that are often related in some way to death, the afterlife or the supernatural.

The Bestiary entry for the Hellhound: "Most certainly not a good boy, this vicious demon dog is more than eager to guide living beings to the underworld with every bite."
