Aspen is a hellhound. He appears in What We Do in the Shadows.
Biography[]
Aspen has the appearance of a normal golden retriever, but he has the rarely-used ability to breathe fire.[2] When Derek became a vampire, he adopted Aspen without a licence and this action, along with several other petty crimes, brought him the attention of the Vampiric Council. Aspen was confiscated and locked in a crate, which was brought into the Chamber of Judgement while Derek was on trial. Nandor and Nadja sentenced Derek to death for his crimes, but his punishment was reduced following a retrial led by Guillermo and Laszlo. Guillermo then opened up the crate to reveal Aspen's ordinary appearance.[3]
When the Sire escaped from the Temple of Blood-Devourers, Aspen helped the Council look for him, carrying the recently-exhumed Baron Afanas on his back. The Baron was able to negotiate with the Sire and arrangements were made for the two vampires to live with Aspen in a home in Nutley, New Jersey.[2]
When Colin Robinson passed away, Aspen was one of the subjects in the portrait of Colin's closest friends, painted by Donal Logue in his honor.[4]
In Season 4, the Hellhound appears in Episode 6 "The Wedding" when Nadja and the Guide visit the Baron at his home in Nutley NJ.
In Season 5, the Hellhound appears in Episode 8, "The Roast" where he goes for a walk with the Baron, terrifying his suburban neighboours, and dropping flaming poops which the Baron must use a fire extinguisher to smother.
