Houndoom brought the Dobermann to the Pokémon universe and did it in the most eerie fashion! A hellhound with a pointed tail and sharp metallic horns draped in orange and black fur. Both Houndoom and Houndour’s appearance perfectly suits their dark and fire typing.
One thing I love about Gen II is the re-imagining of Gen I. Take the magic formula that people fell in love with in the original 151 Pokémon, and tweak it ever so slightly. Growlithe and Arcanine spiritually became Houndour and Houndoom. Two demonic canines that became some of the most beloved dogs in all of Pokémon.
