===Hang Dog===
Formed from the victims<ref>'''Q:''' To clarify about Hang Dogs - do they take after the aggressors, or the victims? Like, if a Hang Dog arose from the Salem witch trials, would the Dog target inquisitors, or potential witches?<br>'''A:''' They take after the victims. - [https://old.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/goyerk/_/frxkln9/ Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> of hate crimes,<ref name=":6" /> generally mindless attacks, mass hysteria, [[Wikipedia:democide|democide]], genocide to the extent that the exact number of the dead are lost track of. They begin more human than standard Dog Tags, and may have powers based on their death or the reason they were killed, but possess less equipment. Powered by hate, they generally have a "favoured enemy" who they are more effective against; and can grow in power to the point where they can entrap [[soul]]s, send people to [[the Abyss]] or other places, or inflict a negative afterlife on aggressors. They can act as protectors but tend to encourage the conflict that spawned them in the process.<ref name=":9">Hang Dogs - Come about from mindless, often group-targeted mass-lynchings and killings (to meet the criteria for the faceless dead or the 'dead as statistics, not people'), sometimes with hysteria involved.  More focused against one side in a conflict, with ‘favored enemies’ that they are more effective against, have weaker equipment, more personality from the outset.  Stem from hate rather than war, very effective against their favored enemy and against the unaware, are difficult to track and pin down, may have other abilities relating to their means of death or the hysteria surrounding them.  May be protectors of 'their' people, but their way of going about this (targeting and mutilating/killing the aggressors) has a tendency to perpetuate or escalate hostilities and do more long-term harm, where such is possible.  Can arise from genocide in war, in which case they would band together with other Dogs, but can just as easily appear in groups on their own in a rural area, if there's sufficient murder of a subgroup.  Hang Dogs tend to swell in strength more than other Dogs, especially as time passes, and Hang Dogs of sufficient strength may be able to claim souls and imprison them (a consciousness forever embedded in an object, tree, or corpse, watching and unable to speak/act) or to drag or send aggressors to other realms, such as the Abyss or the darker places that lie beyond the gates of Death.  Many are put to rest by the very groups that they came from. - [https://old.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/goyerk/_/frpaibe Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> Can spawn with other Dog types given the appropriate conflict.<ref name=":9"/>
