'''Felhounds''', or '''fel hounds'''<ref>[[A Steamy Romance Novel: Northern Exposure]]</ref>, are [[Fel stalker|demon hounds]] used by the [[pit lord]]s to sniff out sources of magic wherever they can be found. Felhounds, who feed upon magic itself, are fond of draining the energies of hapless wizards and then ripping their bodies to shreds.<ref>''[[Warcraft III]]'' manual, pg. 136</ref>

Felhounds are [[demonic hound]]s that feed on magic; they can sense the presence of nearby magic and hunt spellcasters unerringly. This red-skinned creature looks vaguely like a [[hound]] — though one with a massive, toothy head that makes up nearly a third of its length. Great horns jut out above its solid white eyes. Their powerful jaws are huge and filled with slender teeth. Their eyes are weak; to get around, felhounds rely on their ability to sense magic. This sense is also how they track their prey. Felhounds are pit lords' personal hunting hounds, starved for both blood and arcane energy. Pit lords grow felhounds somewhere in the [[Twisting Nether]]. Felhounds do not speak, though they understand [[Eredun]]. Felhounds treat [[spellcaster]]s, particularly [[arcane]] spellcasters, as layered desserts with meat on the outside and magic on the inside. Less magical characters are worth notice only if they have damaged a felhound.<ref>''[[Monster Guide]]'', pg. 70</ref>

The '''Felhounds''' first appeared in [[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]. They were as fast as [[Knight (Warcraft III)|Knights]], as resistant as an un-upgraded [[Grunt (Warcraft III)|Grunt]], and possessed the Mana Burn ability, which deducted a target enemy's current mana pool by a maximum of 100, dealing damage equal to the amount of mana burned. They also had a Chaos type attack, making them more effective against buildings than regular units.

<blockquote>''The [[Burning Legion|Legion]] has sent '''Hellhounds''' to aid us! The beasts are yours to command, [[Arthas Menethil|Death Knight]]''.<br />— [[Kel'Thuzad]] during the summoning of [[Archimonde]]</blockquote>

In the Undead campaign, ''[[Path of the Damned]]'', upon the summoning of [[Archimonde the Defiler]], the [[Burning Legion]] sent seven of these beasts to assist the [[Death Knight]] [[Arthas Menethil]] in defending the [[Lich]] [[Kel'Thuzad]] from the [[Kirin Tor]], the [[Mages' Guild]], and the [[Sorcerer's League]]<ref>{{ref game |title=Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos |campaign=[[Path of the Damned]] |mission=[[Under the Burning Sky]]}}</ref>. Since the Felhounds possessed the Mana Burn ability, they were highly effective against enemy spellcaster units, such as [[Priest (Warcraft III)|Priest]], [[Sorceress (Warcraft III)|Sorceresses]], and even [[Archmage (Warcraft III)|Archmage]] [[Hero|heroes]].

They made their second appearance in the [[interlude]] "[[The Wreckage of Lordaeron]]", in the Orc campaign, ''[[The Invasion of Kalimdor]]''. While larger demons, such as [[Infernals]] and [[Doom Guard|Doom Guards]] destroyed buildings, the Felhounds would go after the human villagers and kill them.<br />In the same campaign, they were seen again during the last mission, "[[By Demons Be Driven]]", alongside Doom Guards guarding [[Grom Hellscream]]'s chambers. [[Thrall]] would need to kill these demons in order to gain access and utilize the [[Soul Gem (WC3)|Soul Gem]] on Grom as part of [[Jaina Proudmoore]]'s plan to free him from the Legion's influence.

Finally, this demonic unit appeared several times during ''[[Eternity's End]]'', the Night Elf campaign and last of the five on Reign of Chaos. Its presence was most notable in "[[A Destiny of Flame and Sorrow]]", in which they not only made up a few of the attack waves on [[Illidan]]'s base but also protected [[Tichondrius]], and most notably the final mission, "[[Twilight of the Gods]]" — many of the attack waves launched against the stalwart [[Nordrassil|World Tree]] defenders ([[Humans]], [[Orcs]] and [[Night Elves]]) would frequently be composed by Felhounds.

==Notes==
 
−
*In World of Warcraft, felhounds are one of the few [[demon]]-typed creatures that can be [[skinned]].
 
−
*Besides draining magic, they can in fact eat meat and do defecate, as seen in {{quest|Shizz Work|Shizz Work}}.
 
−  
−
== Inspiration ==
 
−
*Felhounds look very much a Peace Hound from the comic series [[wikipedia:Elfquest|Elfquest]].
 
−
*They also look strikingly similar to the zergling from Starcraft.
