Hellhounds

Hellhounds are mid to high level demons often given as a slayer assignment to mid to high level players. The introduction of the Summoning skill brought about a rise in players killing them due to their gold charm drop rate. They have the second highest combat level of any monster outside of Daemonheim in F2P, only to be surpassed by the Revenant Knight. With the removal of Bounty Hunter, Hellhounds were put in the Wilderness crater. Because of this, they are now the strongest non-revenant monster in free-to-play worlds. They have been moved to the Forinthry Dungeon with the re-release of the Old Wilderness system. Locations
 * Taverly Dungeon
 * Forinthry Dungeon
 * High-leveled Wilderness
 * Kuradals Dungeon (Yet to be released)

Hellhounds are particularly weak to stab attacks, more so than slash.
