Description: Very common scavengers in demon realm. Can be easily summoned using barely any materials. In consequence anyone with basic knowledge about summoning can bring it to this plane. It doesn't mean it is easy to control in comparison to higher ranking demons. I can even say that it is harder having in mind that they have the mind of an animal and can't form more complex contracts that bind them stronger to summoner's will. If done incorrectly they can even break out of the control and lash out on moments notice.
They look like malnourished guarding dogs covered in thick layer of solidified blood. Instead of eyes they have heart shaped growths that despite how they are shape don't limit their ability to see objects and instead allows them to detect nearby blood. Because they are an inhabitants of hell they can to some extent externaly malipulate life essence and in their case allows them to create blood constructs, like needles and projectiles, which they use in hunts.

Fortunately, there aren't many cases where they escaped their contractors and even then they usualy die in short time after meeting stronger, unfamiliar for them monsters. Even then if you don't have the ability to fight weaker monsters they should absolutely avoided. Their ability to manipulate blood, and high regeneration which comes with it, makes it a tricky opponent to deal on your own.
Personal notes: "I enjoy having them as my summons, for a simple fact that they are very cheap. For the same amount of materials as required to summon a single, high ranking demon you can get a few hundred Blood Hounds. Of course a single summoner can't bind to himself so much creatures but they do not require personal contracts unlike others, so person binding them doesn't even have to be present during the summoning. If someone is very fluent in using them, one can even use their blood manipulation abilities to help in surgeries and transplants." Dr. Marin Crimson, member of Diseased Order
