Trivia[]
- Most helhounds' names are references to Norse mythology, but their appearance bears more similarity to Cerberus, the multi-headed guard hound of the underworld in Greek mythology.
- They are similar to the core hounds in which they are also dog-like creatures with more than one head. Although, the Core Hounds have only two heads whereas the helhounds have three.
Speculation[]

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore. |
Although helhounds were initially only seen in Helheim during World of Warcraft: Legion, their presence in the Shadowlands likely means that they originate from the realms of Death and were only introduced to Helheim through Helya's knowledge of the Shadowlands and/or her alliance with the Jailer.
