Terror Dog
Terror Dogs were the monstrous dog-like servants of Gozer. They were lion-sized, hairless quadrupeds with glowing red eyes, tails, and 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 dogs, they were actually sentient, intelligent creatures who could speak (as humans) and perform human-like acts, such as copulation.
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, and demonic growling. After a long journey which saw Zuul encounter Peter Venkman and Vinz Clortho captured by the Ghostbusters, the two dogs finally met at the Shandor Building. The couple wasted little time acting on their primal urges, kissing passionately and successfully having sex through their hosts human bodies in front of the Temple of Gozer before opening the portal through which their master would enter this dimension. With the door open the two demons got down on all fours, as if they were once again dogs then shed their human forms and transformed back into their native, dog-like forms. Once Gozer was defeated the Terror Dogs reverted back to statues holding their prior human hosts trapped inside.
