[[Hound of Balthazar|Hounds of Balthazar]] are [[charmable animal]]s encountered in the [[Zaishen Menagerie]].
==Locations==
*[[Core]]
**[[The Battle Isles]]
***{{NPC location|Zaishen Menagerie Grounds}} (levels 5, 12, 15, and 20, depending on unlock progress)

==Acquisition==
* [[Ceira, Sworn to Fire]] will unlock this pet if you talk to her during [[Anniversary Celebration]]s.
* Can be unlocked by [[Helena]] (Zaishen Keeper) by paying their [[Zaishen_Menagerie_Grounds/Service_costs|''Prestige, Exotic'' Unlocking cost]]:
** 20{{zgold}} plus 100{{gold}} ''or''
** 100,000 [[Balthazar Faction]]

== Notes ==
* Once unlocked, the hound will be located in [[:File:Zaishen Menagerie Animals Locations.png|the caves to the northeast]] (the same location as the [[Black Moa]]).
* This pet cannot be displayed in the [[Hall of Monuments]].
* This pet is the only animal companion that deals [[fire damage]] (instead of [[piercing damage|piercing]] or [[slashing damage]]).
** Its attack will therefore trigger the burning from [[Mark of Rodgort]].
* Despite their appearance, they are ''not'' immune to [[burning]]:
** The only way to tell if they are on fire is to look at the Pet Control panel.
* The burning visual effect continues even if the pet is [[death|dead]].

{{bug|Like other animated effects, the hounds sometimes fail to display their flames when entering a new area.}}

==Trivia==
*Introduced in the [[Seventh Year Anniversary Celebration]] ([[Feedback:Game updates/20120424|April 24, 2012 update]]).
