Hellhound (difficult to tame and if fail to tame, they will attack)

The Hellhound is a hostile Nether mob that would spawn in the Crimson Forest, roaming in packs as a dangerous predator. It’s fairly large compared to regular wolf with glowing cracks of fire running through its body. Its eyes burn bright orange, making it easy to identify and fear. By default, Hellhounds are highly hostile and will attack players and mobs on sight. Their bites deal both physical damage and fire damage. Hellhounds can be tamed using the Withered Bone which would be dropped by wither skeletons or blaze rod. Once tamed, they become loyal companions. It deals both physical damage and additional fire damage with each bite. Its attacks can quickly overwhelm unprepared players, especially in groups. The Hellhound can be tamed using a new item called the Withered Bone, which is dropped by wither skeletons. Once tamed, the Hellhound becomes a loyal companion to the player. It will follow its owner across dimensions and automatically attack hostile mobs, making it a powerful ally in combat situations. This makes it especially useful for exploring dangerous areas such as Nether Fortresses or Bastions, where its fire-based attacks can quickly eliminate threats. The Hellhound is extremely vulnerable to water. contact with water sources, including rain and snow, damages it significantly. Bringing a tamed Hellhound into the Overworld requires caution, certain biomes and weather conditions can be lethal to it.

    Overtime, being in the Overworld slowly starts to kill Hellhounds after a few hours. Blaze rods can be used to replenish them so they don’t die from being in the Overworld for too long. (This part doesn’t have to be added, just something I thought of)

    should be neutral, not hostile, but attack on sight if not holding withered bone or blaze rod. it should not take damage from water/snow, but temporarily lose its ability to deal fire damage and have the cracks of fire stop glowing. should have double the regular HP of a wolf. wolf armor shouldn't be usable on them, but special hellhound armor could be, which can be enchanted.
