Houndour Nicknames

Houndour
Houndour
Nero
I chose this name for a few reasons. Nero, which is the Italian word for black, connects with Houndour's primary Dark type. It is also, of course, the name of the infamous Roman emperor, who allegedly start the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, which gives a connection to Houndour's secondary Fire type as well as their reputation for instilling fear.

"Ah, yes, lets name him after something that paints him as being very ferocious, savage, cruel, and will also remind them of a cartoon mouse's pet."

Thankfully he is, just enough, to keep him a safe distance away from this terrible nickname.

Shuck
All over Europe, there have been sightings of black dogs in cemetaries for centuries, called hell hounds. They disappear as fast as they come, and leave behind a smoldering pile of ash. I got the idea from what the English used to call hell hounds, "Black Shuck." And with Houndour's fire attacks, it can easily leave piles of ash in it's wake.

Loki
Seeing as how Cerberus has been done to death, I thought I'd think of something a little different while still keeping with a mythology motif. Houndour strikes me as a mischievous little rascal.
