Terror Dog

Revision as of 13:36, 20 February 2020

Terror Dogs were the monstrous dog-like servants of Gozer. They were lion-sized, hairless quadrupeds with glowing red eyes, tails, and short, curved horns protruding from the sides of their heads. Although physical beings and not spirits, the terror dogs were nonetheless capable of demonic possession, and although they looked and behaved like nothing more than savage beasts they were actually sentient, intelligent creatures.

Notable Terror Dogs are Zuul and Vinz Clortho, who possessed Dana Barrett and Louis Tully, giving their human hosts supernatural abilities such as levitation, electroconductivity, red eyes and demonic growling. After a long journey which saw Zuul encounter Peter Venkman and Vinz captured by the Ghostbusters, the two Terror Dogs, in human form, finally met at the Shandor Building. The demonic couple wasted little time acting on their primal urges, successfully mating through their hosts human bodies in front of the Temple of Gozer before opening the portal through which their master, Gozer, entered this realm. With the door open the two demons shed their human skin transforming into their native, beastly forms. Once Gozer was defeated the Terror Dogs reverted back to statues holding their prior human hosts trapped inside.
