Diamond Dogs was a private military company led by Venom Snake around the 1980s. It was created as a result of the devastation of the Militaires Sans Frontières as well as the attack on Mother Base. At some point during the 1980s, Diamond Dogs managed to situate themselves on an offshore plant modeled after their former base given to them by the government of the Seychelles after they halted an attempted coup by South African mercenaries. The name stems from the group's profession as "dogs of war," who were willing to carry out unsavory jobs for clients, while at the same time maintaining pride in their work. Owing to their name, they also carried diamonds into battle, some converted from the cremated ashes of their fallen comrades,and collected raw diamonds for the funding of their Mother Base. Besides engaging in combat and various mercenary jobs, the Diamond Dogs also retrieved various animals for an environmental NGO.
A division was established in Paralake soon after in response to the rising levels of potential sites of Cypher related orgs popping up within Paralake.
