Notes
- One of the 'demon dogs' that haunt the trails and moors around Azure Springs, the barghest is a wild fey from the Unseelie Court and are said to be the hunting hounds for the Queen of Air and Darkness. Unfortunately for mortals, some of her hounds manage to pierce the veil to plague mortals.
- Whitcomb's Nemesis is a barghest that has slowly gained an essence to grow into a greater barghest by consuming unsuspecting traveler and some of Ives' sheep. It is why Whitcomb has been tracking and has previously injured the creature.
- A dangerous talent that the barghest possesses includes several supernatural abilities that allow the beast to charm, frighten, or quickly escape its hunters. Despite these talents, the barghest is reluctant to leave the safety of Azure Springs' gloom.
