Killer kev wrote: According to Noshiko's story and the book that Lydia read, the hellhound doesn't work alone, it works along side the ghost riders. The book addressed multiple hounds, not just the one.

This particular hellhound referred to himself as "Cerberus, Black Shuck, Garmr..."

In mythology, Cerberus didn't have an army of hellhounds helping it do its job. It did so alone; at the command of Hades. However, that's not to say it was the only hellhound. In some myths, Hades and Persephone had more hellhounds, but they guarded the inside of the House of Hades while Cerberus was in charge of guarding the rest of the Underworld.

Also in Mythology, Black Shuck is associated with wandering around Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, etc., and the "sightings" only report one hound, not many.

We don't know if this particular Hellhound worked with the "ghost riders," but we do know that "Cerberus" and "Garmr" were known for guarding the underworld.

In Teen Wolf lore, they guard supernatural places as was established in the current canon. We don't know how reliable the book is and ultimately, it would be up to the Hellhound itself to reveal its true purpose.

If the "Ghost Riders" are coming, and if they're revealed to be villains, it'll be interesting to see how the Hellhound will protect BH if they show up.
