Hellhound

The Hellhound is a Hardmode, post-Plantera enemy summoned during the Pumpkin Moon event. It follows the Unicorn AI and will run quite fast at the player; the player will be barely able to outrun them with Lightning Boots. This can make them a very dangerous enemy.

Defeating a Hellhound adds 5 /  4 points while the Pumpkin Moon event is active.
