The Barghest is a large Awakened canine (one of several Awakened canine species) found in the northern regions of North America, Asia and Europe. Distinctive features include sharply pointed ears, a protruding spine, glowing eyes and teeth. They often resemble oversized mastiffs, with short fur and either pure white or pure black color. Its eyes and teeth seem to glow due to a certain luminescent bacteria that resides in is mucous membranes.

Barghests are nocturnal pack animals, frequently travelling in groups of a dozen or more, who herd their prey (usually large mammals) by howling. During breeding season, it tends to hunt alone or in a breeding pair. A barghest howl can induce fear and, in some cases, a catatonic state in its victim.

The marticore (Martichoras hastae) resembles the same creatures of myth. It has a leonine body that grows to a length of 3 meters and weigt around 400 kg. It has a leonine body with long tawny fur and a wide mouth with multiple rows of teeth, similar to a shark. From the tip of its tail are a bunch of spines, similar to a porcupine, except that these barbed spines are venomous. They sport two bat like wings and while it should be impossible for such a large creature to fly as with dragons and other paracritters it can due to their natural magic like Powers.

They are most commonly found around the Meditrainian and Black Sea regions of Europe and the northern mountainous regions of India and Pakastan.
