"Gently glowing, the serpent has a nose for devils."[1]

The Hound of Heaven is a large, serpentine creature with gently glowing scales, a pale underside, and ruby-red eyes. This creature is famed for its ability to track, and scare off,[2] any devils within a large vicinity,[3] but it is unclear where it draws its power from.
