Houndour is a dog-like Pokémon with short, black fur and a red underbelly and snout. It has short, pointed ears and a tail. Its fangs protrude out of its mouth, and its nose is dark in coloration. There are white bands on its ankles, and more rib-like ones on its back. Houndour appears to have a simplistic, stylized skull on its forehead, with the orbits looking much like ‘eyebrow’ patterning commonly seen on dogs. It also has circular, red-colored patterning on the underside of its paws.
Houndour is a quadruped, canine Pokémon with short, black fur and a red underbelly and muzzle. Its ears and tail are both short and pointed. Two fangs protrude from its upper jaw, and its triangular nose is black. There are white bands on its ankles, and rib-like ridges on its back. Houndour appears to have a simplistic, stylized skull on its forehead with the eye orbits creating eyebrow patterning above its actual eyes. It also has circular, red paw pads on each of its three-toed paws.


Houndour communicates with its kind through various barks and howls, and shows off unparalleled teamwork. It also uses barks to check another's location as it corners its prey. It is very protective of its kind and will not abandon any of its pack if the fellow pack members are hurt. It can be presumed that, as Houndour hunt in packs, they are fairly smart. Around dawn, Houndour’s ominous howl echoes through the area to announce its ownership of its territory. Although Houndour inhabits deep woods, it may also appear near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|volcanic areas}}. Its dark fur allows it to blend in at night. It preys mainly on small mammals.
