Black Dog (CTD)

The Black Dog is a type of Chimerical Monster.

Overview

Once a regional phenomenon confined solely to the Lake District of England, the Black Dog occupies a strange place among chimera. Part nightmare, technically monster, and largely nervosa, this hound patrols roads by night, watching for travelers. It dislikes men and will cause accidents or stalk quietly beside trespassers, unnerving them completely. On the other hand, it has great concern for women and children, especially if they are traveling alone; it will trot beside them as a guardian or even carry them if they are injured or tired. It keeps mostly to rural areas with few streetlamps, perhaps because such environs are more like the roads it remembers in the Lake Country.

The Black Dog, also called Black Shuck or Trash Hound (old form: Gytrash), always appears as a large, shaggy, coal-black dog about the size of an English Sheepdog, with large teeth and eyes that glow like embers. When in a friendly mood, it licks and frolics with children as happily as any dog.
