Hellhound

Hellhounds are a cross between Wild Dogs and demons. Hellhounds are hunted by Treasure Trail enthusiasts for the Level 3 Clue scrolls that are dropped when killed. After the release of the Summoning skill, hellhounds were hunted for the charms that are used for infusing Summoning pouches, as they drop gold charms very often. Hellhounds are also given as Slayer assignments.

Locations

 * Taverley Dungeon
 * Level 50 Wilderness, east of the Deserted Keep
 * Witchaven Shrine Dungeon
 * God Wars Dungeon (level 127)
 * Fight Arena (Bouncer) (level 137) Note: Bouncer can only be fought once during Fight Arena quest.

Fighting Strategy
Hellhounds have a low defence, but make up for this with high offensive stats. The level 122 and 127 hellhounds have maximum hits of 13 and 14 respectively. They can be ranged and cannoned fairly easily in the Taverley Dungeon, making it a decent way to train the Ranged skill. In addition to several safe spots, players can stand outside of the target's wander zone to stay safe.

The two hellhounds in the Witchaven Shrine Dungeon can also easily ranged and maged once they become tolerant of the player. There is a gold rock in the middle eastern part of the room, and is commonly used as a safe spot. If the hellhounds are not yet tolerant, the player will not be able to hide from both of them. This dungeon is a quick trip to and from the southeast Ardougne bank. Since there are only two, and the respawn rate is slow, this may not be the most efficient place to slay them for a Slayer assignment.

Despite the high accuracy and damage of their attacks, a player can still fight Hellhounds for a nearly limitless amount of time using either Guthans or a combination of Bunyip pouches and the Bones to Peaches spell.

Player-owned House
In any Player-owned house, a level 127 hellhound can be bought as a guard for the Dungeon. However, the hellhound costs 5,000,000 coins and will require 94 Construction. Buying a hellhound guard will give 2,236 Construction experience.
