The Skeleton Hellhound is a monster summoned by Vanstrom Klause during the In Search of the Myreque quest to kill the remaining Myreque members. In order for the quest to be completed, the Skeleton Hellhound must be defeated, which should not be a problem for a moderately levelled player, as it is fairly weak. Although it is a skeleton, it does not count as undead, so Crumble Undead and the salve amulet do not work against this monster. Defeating the Skeleton Hellhound will not count for the easy combat achievement A Demon's Best Friend.

It can be fought in the Nightmare Zone after the quest is completed.

The hellhound can be safespotted by luring it behind the chair on the eastern part of the room.

Safespot behind the chair when facing North. Blue arrow and outline shows entrance/exit of the room.
