Keen Hearing and Smell. The hound has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Description
Fire-breathing fiends that take the form of powerful dogs, hell hounds commonly serve evil creatures that use them as guard animals and companions.
YEET WE MYST USE!!! WE LOVE HELL HOUNDS!!!
Used one last night as a companion and sentinel for a Cambion. Got a suprise round with it and used its Fire Breath. Got the 1st initiative and recharged its Breath again to deal more fire damage. Good times.
In a session I stood watch and was attacked by a hell hound and with my strength I held it down and my team knocked it out. It will soon be my pet.
Can a hellhound be used as a PC companion to a Tiefling?
That'll be up to your DM. Since most tielfings in 5e are descended from folks who made pacts with Devils, and Hell Hounds are Lawful, like Devils. I'd say that if your tiefling is sufficiently evil and commanding, that it would be able to tame a hell hound, but if a specific hell hound is already under a deal/contract of sorts with some other creature, then there's very little that could break that contract.
id say yes after all i am a dm
fetch me their souls
Got one as a companion, 10/10 would adopt again
