The Hellhound is a type of Tracker Bot[2] used by the RDA for scouting, reconnaissance and tracking of valuable targets.
Design[]
As their name indicates, Hellhounds were built in the shape of a dog. Not only were they physically canid in shape, their behavior and senses heavily mimics that of their biological counterparts. This makes them excellent for hunting down targets as their handlers simply gives these robots the captured materials needed to locate them and their AI would do the rest.
Outside of their superior sense of smell, Hellhounds are also shown to be decently armored and resilient, being able to shrug off blows from a Na'avi Hunting Bow.[1] Their armor can only be penetrated by machinegun fire.[1] Another peculiar trait is that these robots have a cyclopean eye that glows red in the dark, indicating strong night vision and infrared-red eyesight. For offense, they are armed with a powerful metallic jaw that could give life-threatening injuries, but usually, the jaws are electrified for non-lethal purposes in order to subdue its targets.[3]
The RDA is capable of carrying several dozen of them in a single Valkyrie, making them a formidable, relentless and numerous asset to have.
