Free Hellhound – Top-Down 8-Direction Enemy Sprite (HD)

A complete HD hellhound, free. A black-furred wolf split by glowing magma cracks, with heat haze rising off it. Every animation in all 8 directions, 244×220 px frames (plus 128 px copies), and a ash death. Try the style, scale and import in your own project before choosing a pack.

Four attacks and a ash death

Bite, pounce, head-shake and a lunging bite, each in all 8 directions, aimed where the hellhound faces. The ash death: the cracks spread and the body burns away into embers behind a glowing edge, ending on empty frames so you can remove the character without a pop. The regular death is in the download too.

Quick import

1. Godot 4: copy the character folder into your project and assign its SpriteFrames to an AnimatedSprite2D.
2. Other engines: slice the PNG sheets using the cell size, row order (S, SE, E, NE, N, NW, W, SW) and FPS from the JSON.
3. Keep the supplied feet pivot so the character stands on the ground in every direction.

FAQ

Which size should I use? The native 244×220 px or the 128 px copies; pick one scale for your camera.

Does it match the other packs? Yes: the same camera angle, scale and light direction as every character in the series, so the Hellhound can fight next to the Free Wolf and the other packs.
