What are Hellhounds?

To hunt down those damned souls who have escaped from Hell. Upon their escape, these souls cannot return to Hell until they are captured by a hellhound and dragged back by force. This is why they have been depicted as demonic creatures with flaming eyes, which can be seen patrolling both sides of Hell.
