[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Houndoom (Japanese: ヘルガー Hellgar) is a dual-type Dark/Fire Pokémon.
It evolves from Houndour starting at level 24.
Biology
Physiology
Houndoom has a taller build than its predecessor, Houndour. There are two white bands at each of Houndoom's ankles instead of just one, as well as three bands on it's back instead of two. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail that ends in an arrow-head. It appears to have a collar with a small skull pendant and a pair of curled horns, but no discernible ears.
Gender differences
A female has smaller horns.
Special abilities
Houndoom's abilities are the same as Houndour's, only stronger. As a matter of fact, legends claim that anyone that gets burned by Houndoom's Fire attacks will never be healed and that Houndoom's howling was once claimed to be the call of the Grim Reaper. Its fire comes from toxins burning in its gut, this also gives its fire a foul odor.
Behavior
Houndoom are generally very protective, alert, head strong, intelligent, and very focused. They can be overly aggressive, but only to protect themselves, their young, their territory, or their owner. However, when properly trained, they can be extremely loyal, loving, and caring Pokémon, as well as very good pets.
Habitat
Houndoom live in very dark woods. Due to their black skin tone, they easily blend in at night. They may also appear near volcanic areas.
