==Biology==
==Biology==
Houndoom is a quadruped, canine Pokémon that is mainly black with 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. On top of its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns. These horns are smaller on the female than the male.
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.


As 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, causing them to resemble 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. Its claws are a dark red due to its ability to generate more heat.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Houndoom</ref> Finally, the tip of its tail is now split down the middle.
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>

Its gut is full of toxins, which are used to create fire. This gives Houndoom's fire a foul odor and the wounds it inflicts will never heal. Houndoom appears near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|volcanic areas}}. Its howling induces shivering in other Pokémon, and often sends them scurrying back to their nests.

Houndoom can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Houndoom.

===Major appearances===
====[[Harrison's Houndoom]]====
{{jo|Harrison}} used a {{TP|Harrison|Houndoom}} during the [[Silver Conference]], where it helped to recover the flame of Ho-Oh and defeated [[Ash's Snorlax]] in their battle. However, it lost to [[Ash's Bayleef]] and was Harrison's final Pokémon in the Semi-Finals, in which it lost to a {{p|Rhyhorn}}.


====Other====
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.
Houndoom first appeared in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. When [[Misty's Togepi]] got separated from {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}}, it came across a Houndoom that was delivering a package. Houndoom took Togepi back to Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Houndoom may have been based on the {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}, or other {{wp|black dog (ghost)|legends}} of {{wp|hellhound}}s. Houndoom is also similar in appearance to {{wp|Doberman Pinscher|Doberman}}s. Houndoom also seems to bear some resemblances to the extinct {{wp|tasmanian tiger|Tasmanian Tiger/Tasmanian Wolf}}. Much like the Tasmanian Tiger, Houndoom is a hound with a lean body and stripey pattern on its back.
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}}.
