- Lava Pups are fast, weak air troops. They are spawned in a circular spread when the Lava Hound has been defeated.
- They resemble the Lava Hound in appearance, but are smaller and made entirely out of lava.
- Lava Pups have no preferred target when attacking; they will simply attack the closest building . However, if they become aware of enemy Clan Castle troops , Heroes , or Skeleton Trap skeletons (either by being attacked themselves or by being near another friendly troop under attack), and can fight back against them, they will leave their previously targeted building and instead engage the enemy troops. Once all of the nearby enemy troops are defeated, the Lava Pups will proceed to attack the nearest structure.
- As a sub-troop, it cannot be trained, placed, or donated directly via the Clan Castle (although the Lava Hound can).
- The Lava Pup is considered to take up 1 housing space for the purpose of determining its interactions with the Tornado Trap , Clone Spell and Recall Spell .
- It cannot trigger Seeking Air Mines , but can trigger Air Bombs .
- A group of Lava Pups can be easily wiped out by a single Air Bomb or other AOE/Multi-Target defenses , but can easily distract the Air Defense for some time. Try using more durable aerial units to distract them and buy valuable seconds. If they are adequately protected, they can even help to finish off buildings in the corners in a similar fashion to Minions .
- If they are adequately protected, they can even help to finish off buildings in the corners in a similar fashion to Minions .
- Lava Pups can easily stall single-target defenses. Consider using one with Dragons or Electro Dragons to help with these slower units.

- The Lava Hound can be placed inside the Clan Castle, but Lava Pups cannot. Nonetheless, when a Lava Hound explodes, the Lava Pups are able to overwhelm enemies with their large numbers. This makes them useful to stall slower troops like Electro Dragons and the Royal Champion , but they are weaker if multiple troops engage them at the same time.
- If the Lava Hound dies while being burned by the Inferno Artillery 's fire pools, then the Lava Pups that spawn on it will quickly get taken out as well.
- Lava Pups have nearly identical stats to a level 1 Minion, the only differences being slightly lower hitpoints and a shorter range (2.75 tiles for the Minion and 2 tiles for the Lava Pup).
- While the Lava Hound appears to be made of both molten lava and solid rock, the Lava Pup seems to be a pure lava being, perhaps suggesting that the lava cools into rock as the Lava Pup matures.
- The Lava Pup did not receive a new artwork in the Winter 2016 Update despite the Lava Hound and other sub-troops receiving new artworks.
- A frame-perfect fireball from the Wizard Tower can destroy the Lava Pups that spawn from an already-defeated Lava Hound.
- The Lava Pup is one of two sub-troops featured as a monster in the game Squad Busters . The other is the Skeleton .
