<Inu Inu no Mi: Model Hellhound>
English Name:– Dog Dog Fruit: Model Hellhound
Classification:– Mythical Zoan
Owned By:– Constantine J. Asmodeus
Appearance:– This Devil Fruit is roughly the size of fig with a long green fuzzy stem. Its skin is thick and crusty like a tangerine. However, its dark purple in color with the typical devil fruit swirls decorating its skin. The inside of the fruit is thick and pulpy like a mango being a glowing lime green color. Small black seeds fill the center of the Devil Fruit being completely edible. Being a Devil Fruit it still has the typical terrible flavor.
Ability:–
The Inu Inu no Mi: Model Hellhound allows the one who consumed it to become a giant hound or wolf resembling an Okuri-in. The Hellhound is associated with many things dependent on the mythos. However, somethings are consistent throughout all mythos. Firstly all Hellhounds are large black dogs or wolves. Secondly, hellhounds are tied with roads, death, isolation, and underworld be it Christian Hell or one from a different religion as seen with Garmr who is a Hellhound from the realm of "Helheim" and even Cerberus who guards the gates of Hades in the panhellenic mythos. As such the user gains increased perception boosting the user's eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell similar to any canid.
It also bestows the user with superhuman strength and resistance as this is a supernatural being who was often inhuman in size! Not only that but the user gains a strong bite as well as strong claws that can tear through flesh with ease. As a hellhound, the user is made of a semi-solid black flame in the shape of a wolf/hound. These black flames are composed of a "cold" fire which consumes both light and heat being able to effectively remove it from the surrounding area... the flames are so cold however they can still cause burns this is evident by the fact that every foot-step the devil fruit user takes while transformed leaves a burnt print onto the ground caused by the intense burning effect. One could be forgiven for mistaking this fruit's user for a Logia since to an extent it acts in a similar fashion since the wolf-like visage is created by the black semi-solid flames which can still interact with the world around it but unlike a Logia the flames do not bestow intangibility. A funny side effect of this devil fruit is when an object/person is in hands of its user while transformed it loses its color while in their possession but returns shortly after the object/person leaves their possession. This is due to the light essentially being sucked out of the object taking away its colors.
The Hellhound also has a secondary ability which allows the beast to effectively muffle its own sounds in effect allowing it to be even stealthier making it easier for the user to stalk their enemies. All these abilities are a way to emulate two major aspects of Hellhounds... death and isolation. The black flames suck light and heat much how death slowly eats at us. In this way, it gives the effect of helplessness and impending doom as the absence of the light creates a curtain of darkness that a hellish beast can come out and pounce you at any time.
