Hell hounds[1] (also called flame hounds[2][3] or charhounds[4]) are fiery beasts from the Firelands. Shannox serves as the kennel master to these creatures.

Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans
In the canceled Warcraft Adventures, Orgrim Doomhammer owned several black creatures which were named "hell-hounds" but bore more resemblance to the darkhounds that would later appear in World of Warcraft.
Trivia
- The name "hellhound" has been used to describe multiple things in Warcraft: the black creatures owned by Orgrim Doomhammer in the non-canon Warcraft Adventures, the "hellhounds" said to be at the feet of the Black Riders in the non-canon RPG,[5] and the Burning Legion's "felhounds" as said by Kel'Thuzad during their first appearance.[6]
- The demonic fel wolves (the result of Draenic wolves being resurrected by fel magic) use the same model as hell hounds, with a fel-colored texture. There are also skeletal hounds.
