History:
(Runaways V#13 (fb) - BTS) - The "Armageddon Dog" sought out the Pride, who had made a deal with the extradimensional Gibborim, and as part of its task, it located and began chasing after deceased traitorous Runaway Alex Wilder.

(Runaways V#13) - Alex Wilder came to his former Runaways teammates for help but before he could convince them to help, the "Armageddon Dog" attacked and demanded the Pride. Per Alex Wilder's orders, Molly Hayes tried to hold back the "dog" with a car and when Karolina Dean hit the "dog" with an energy blast, the "dog" split into three smaller individual creatures. The individual creatures each attacked the Runaways but Nico Minoru ultimately managed to contain them using a "Bondage" spell. The "dog"'s masters, the Seed of the Gibborim, then appeared and demanded the Runaways complete the contract with the Gibborim that their parents in the Pride had agreed to.

(Runaways V#14) - The "Armageddon Dog" watched as Nico Minoru attempted to cast a spell on the Seed of the Gibborim to no effect. When Alex Wilder managed to buy the Runaways some time, the Seed of the Gibborim departed with the "Armageddon dog" in tow, leaving one of their own, Gib, to ensure the Runaways stayed on task to complete the Rite of Thunder their parents had failed to accomplish. Thinking Gib was the name of the "Armageddon Dog," Chase insisted they could not leave it but when Seed member Gib remained behind, Molly Hayes realized that Gib was a person.

Comments: Created by Rainbow Rowell and David LaFuente.

    The "Armageddon Dog" is never truly identified by name. The closest we get to a name is when Chase Stein tells the Seed of the Gibborim that they can't leave their "Armageddon dog" there, hence the name being  in quotations.

    It wasn't quite clear whether the "Armageddon Dog" was truly a singular being that can split into three or three separate beings that can merge together into one. Since Chase Stein referred to it as "Armageddon dog" singular, I'm choosing to treat it as a singular being that can split into three for the purposes of this profile.
