== Description ==
A Barghest is a great black dog, the size of a large lion, its hackles always raised in spiny protrusions. It does not reflect light, and so it looks solid black no matter how brightly illuminated it may be. They hunt in packs in the night, looking to feed on the flesh of any that dare enter their domain.
== Location ==
Barghests stalk places far away from society, where there are no signs of human civilization.
== Modus Operandi ==
Barghests hunt any human that enters their domain. They will attempt to use Howl before their victims even know of their presence, and will then approach and use Glare until they are upon the target. The pack will surround its quarry, skillfully cornering them together and hindering escape. When the target is sufficiently stunned, the Barghest will pounce and bite or claw their victim to death, always making sure to attack vital organs immediately. They will only flee if they are crippled, using whatever powers are available to them to escape. This is the only condition in which they will use their Darkness ability.
== Neutralization ==
The Barghest can be destroyed using regular physical means.
== Story Seed ==
A murderer has hidden in the Louisiana bayou, living in a shack with his rather large mastiff. Anyone who threatens to discover him turns up dead, the autopsy showing large canine bite marks. However, one day a rather large mastiff turns up, killed by something much bigger.
