The hellhounds that I used in my storybook are apparently called Shyama and Sabala aka dusk and dawn. The second story in this collection told their origin. I didn't expect this it was pretty cool. Apparently the Asuras built their own version of the Tower of Babel. Indra struck it down and turned the two strongest Asuras into Yama's guard dogs.
Maybe I could make the Asuras overrun heaven for my storybook. That could make for a heck of a climax.
The last two stories are about Airavata, the last flying elephant (Yeah, apparently they used to fly. What's next pigs? haha.), and the last story is of the aftermath of Narasimha killing Hiranyakashapu. That second one is a straight up Kaiju battle.This one would have gone very poorly if Vishnu hadn't looked around and noticed the destruction, like if he was blinded or something...

This little graphic novel was really good from coming up with some subplots for storybook. There was a lot of good stuff.
