I am planning on introducing a Glabrezu in my game whom is hiding amongst the mortals on the material plane by pretending to be a slaver. I would love for this Glabrezu to own a set of hellhounds.
But... Hell hounds are Lawful evil while demons, such as a Glabrezu, are chaotic evil. This leads me to believe a hell hound is ment to be a devil? even tho it isnt?
Would it make sense for me to give a glabrezu hellhounds?
Well, they're called "hell hounds", not "abyss hounds". That said, some sort of abyssal hound seems perfectly reasonable. You could also use death dogs or winter wolves.
Would it make sense for me to give a glabrezu hellhounds?
Certainly. Per canon: "Despite their infernal appearance earning them association with the Nine Hells, hell hounds did not originate from Baator. Primordials originally created them eons ago, hence why they could be found on the Plane of Fire"... "Since then, hell hounds could be primarily located on Acheron's battlefields and across the rest of the lower planes. They inhabited areas known for their fiery landscapes, from barren mountains, to scorching deserts to blazing caverns from Hell to the Abyss."

Thank you!
Sure. Just use the same stat block and call them Demon Dogs if it bothers you.

I think the hell hound would say he has a demon
Go ahead, It is your game. I will be using this for my next session.
