Houndour

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Houndour is black with a red underside and its muzzle is also red. It has white rings around its legs. It also has a skull-like helmet on its head and rib bones on its back. 
===Behavior===
Houndour live in packs and communicate in barks. They are nocturnal predators. They are extremely loyal to each other; if one member of a pack is attacked, the others will gang up on the foe. Packs of Houndour each develop their own unique sets of calls. When hunting, they use these calls to alert each other of their locations. Then, they work together to corner their prey; they have demonstrated to be intelligent enough to form complex, unique strategies for catching prey depending on their surroundings and the skills of their quarry. 
In fact, Houndour demonstrate some of the most efficient teamwork in the Pokémon world. Around dawn, packs will howl ominously at the moon to indicate to other nearby packs of the boundaries of their territories. Unlike most pack hunters, Houndour packs have no true leaders. Rather, they all are equals and split responsibilities fairly; thus, there is never any infighting for dominance. Houndour are very affectionate towards those they care about; generally, this means other pack members, but for domestic ones this can mean their Trainers as well.
==Evolution==
Houndour evolves into Houndoom once it reaches level 25.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Houndour is mostly based on the infamous hellhound. Its markings resemble the ones of a Doberman Pinscher. It may also be based on the Tasmanian devil with some of the thylacine's elements, or a Doberman Pinscher puppy.
===Etymology===
Houndour is a mix of "hound" and "dour" (which means severe). It might also come from "sour", seeing how it has a menacing nature.
Derubiru is a corruption of "devil".
