'''Houndoom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘルガー''' ''Hellgar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].


=Biology=
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Houndour}} starting at [[level]] 24.


==Physiology==
Houndoom can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Houndoom''' using the [[Houndoominite]].
Houndoom has a taller build than its predecessor, {{P|Houndour}}. There are two white bands at each of Houndoom's ankles instead of just one.  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.


===Gender differences===
==Biology==
A female has smaller horns.
Houndoom is a quadrupedal, {{wp|dog|canine}}  {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black fur, a long orange snout, and an orange underbelly. It has small red eyes and a black nose. Around its neck is a white band with a small skull-shaped pendant on its throat. There are two white bands on each of its ankles, as well as three rib-like ridges on its back. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail with a triangular tip and three clawed toes on each paw. Atop its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns. These horns are smaller on the female than the male. Unlike its pre-evolution, it does not have discernable ears.


===Special abilities===
Houndoom live in packs. The one with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. Leadership is determined by fights within the pack. It is believed that Houndoom dreams about this leadership role while it sleeps. Its gut is full of toxins, which are used to create unique fire mixed with poison. This gives Houndoom's fire a foul odor and the burns it inflicts will never heal. After finishing off its prey, Houndoom divides it evenly among its pack. Houndoom appears near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain areas}}. Its howling induces shivering in other Pokémon, and often sends them scurrying back to their nests. In the past, people thought Houndoom's howl came from the grim reaper. Houndoom usually breathes fire when it is angry. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Houndoom is known to rarely breathe out flames while it sleeps.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>
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 {{t|Fire}} attacks will never be healed and that Houndoom's {{m|Howl}}ing was once claimed to be the call of the [[wp:Grim Reaper|Grim Reaper]].


==Behavior==
===Forms===
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.
Houndoom can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Houndoom.


==Habitat==
As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Houndoom, the ridges on its back thicken, and it gains additional bone-like rings around the base of its tail. The rings on its tail have small spikes on top resembling vertebrae. The ridge at the base of Mega Houndoom's neck is longer and curves forward towards its shoulders. Instead of a band with a skull pendant, there is a large, toothed structure around its neck. This bone-like formation has two large spikes on either side and three pointed teeth on the bottom. Mega Houndoom's horns now point straight up with a small, outward curve in the middle. The two bands on its hind legs have vanished, and those on its forelegs are broken in the front.
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]


==Diet==
Its claws are a dark red due to its ability to generate more heat, which causes pain to Mega Houndoom.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Houndoom</ref> Finally, the tip of its tail is now split down the middle. When it Mega Evolves, its entire body generates heat. Its fiery breath is now powerful enough to burn foes into ashes.

===Evolution===
[[Image:Houndoom in the anime.GIF|right|thumb|200px|Houndoom from [[EP180]].]]
Houndoom evolves from {{p|Houndour}}.
Houndoom first appeared in [[EP180]].  When [[Misty's Togepi]] got separated from [[Ash]] and co, the Spike Ball Pokémon came across a Houndoom that was delivering a package.  Houndoom took Togepi back to Ash, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]].


[[Gary Oak]] has a Houndoom that he may or may not have caught as a Houndour. This Houndoom was seen in Gary's profile in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind!]]''.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Houndoom has three different sprites in each [[Generation II]] game. It also shares this same trait in [[Generation IV]] games. This makes it one of the few {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with this distinction.
* Houndoom is the only non-Legendary or Mythical Pokémon in the mainline games to have a unique battle track associated with it that is shared with no other encounter.


==Sprites==
===Origin===
{{Sprite|
Houndoom seems to be based on the legends of {{wp|hellhound}}s, {{wp|black dog (folklore)|black dogs}}, and possibly {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}. Its horns and pointed tail resemble common depictions of the {{wp|devil}}. Its skeletal adornments may be a reference to the hellhounds' and black dogs' associations with death and allude to the association of dogs with bones as their food, especially in cartoons. They may also be inspired by the {{wp|grim reaper}}, and the bands around its ankles resemble {{wp|shackle}}s. Its build and coloration are similar to a {{wp|Dobermann}}, and it also somewhat resembles the extinct {{wp|Thylacine|Tasmanian wolf}} due to the stripe-like bony ridges on its back. Its pack-hunting behavior and eerie howling are reminiscent of {{wp|Wolf|wolves}}.

=Trivia=
====Name origin====
* Houndoom and {{p|Houndour}} are the only two Pokémon to have {{type2|Fire}} as a secondary type.
Houndoom may be a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''doom'' (death or a terrible fate).
* No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Houndoom and it's [[Houndour|past evolution]].
==Origin==
Houndoom is similar to a [[wp:Dobermann|Doberman]], but may have been inspired by [[wp:Cerberus|Cerberus]] or other legends of hellhounds.


===Name origin===
Hellgar may be a combination of ''{{wp|hell}}'' and ''gar'' (Old English for spear; referring to its tail). It could also refer to {{wp|Garmr}}, a hellhound in {{wp|Norse mythology}}.
Houndoom's name is a combination of ''[[wp:hound|hound]]'' and ''doom''. Its Japanese name is based on ''[[wp:Hell|hell]]'', alluding to its fiery nature, and ''gar'', a sound that dogs make.
