Dragon hounds are one of the many species of dragons and one of the few that can safely interact with humans. Because of this, they are often domesticated as pets, but more commonly as guard dogs. Dragon hounds are most prominently known by their affiliation with the Hattori Clan and Masanari Black Flowers, where they are bred and sold as guard dogs. Many are kept at Ueno Castle and often assigned to agents. Dragon hounds consist of three subspecies: drakes, orthurian hydras and cerberus hydras.

Description
Drakes are single headed dog-like, wingless dragons. They are all capable of breathing fire but there are rare occasions in which they can breath an alternative element, usually ice, water, lightning or even a siren blast.
