Barghest-Contest Entry by Chickibo

Barghest-Contest Entry

Description

It took me AGES to think of a creature to draw for the contest, my imagination was failing me, so instead of my own monster, I picked a local legendary creature, the Barghest, a huge, malevolent, spectral black dog that lives in Yorkshire.
Oh, and by the way, the same creature is called "Padfoot" in Wakefield, does that sound familiar anyone?

Aaaand...fear my Christmas themed avvie! ...Ahem...Ok, next up is aeries7dragon's art trade, then a request for Rubius!

In other *coughverydullcough* news, I'm addicted to two new songs, Rule The World by Take That (officially my favourite song EVER) and American Idiot by Greenday

Okay, I'm going to hide under my bed now, BYEE!

yay, I'm next!!! Can't wait! XD

Tell me the legend surrounding this beast of shadow!!!!! *sits like a kid waiting for storytime*

Well, there isn't much of a story, just that it has been spotted around Yorkshire, and it is very dangerous. The same creature pops up in movies and books, such as the Hound of the Baskervilles, Harry Potter (Sirius aka Padfoot- another name for the barghest) and a lot of fantasy games!

Oh, I've heard of the Hound of the Baskervilles. It was in my book called "Psychic Pets and Spirit Animals". Very interesting read. XD
