	The Grimhound resembles a direwolf in size and shape, with thick black fur and glowing yellow eyes that seem to pierce through the darkness. Its howl is deeper than that of a wolf, and it is said to be unnerving to anyone who hears it. In fact, many believe that when the Grimhound howls, it is a sign that someone is going to die.

	Grimhounds are extremely rare and elusive, hunting only in the darkest of nights. Their speed and strength are unparalleled, making them formidable predators.

	Between 1764 and 1767, a Grimhound terrroized the former province of Gévaudan (consisting of the modern-day department of Lozère and part of Haute-Loire), in the Margeride Mountains of south-central France. Known as the [[wikipedia:Beast_of_Gévaudan\|Beast of Gévaudan]], the creature was unusually aggressive with over 200 documented attacks. A group of [[warden]] led by Guilhèm Levannier, who was known for his expertise in magizoology, eventually managed to track the beast down and slay it. They then transfigured the animal's body to resemble a wolf and modified the memory of the local hunter [[wikipedia:Jean_Chastel\|Jean Chastel]], making it appear that he shot and killed the creature.

	While the Grimhound's fur is sought after for its magical properties, it is exceedingly difficult to obtain due to the creature's danger. The fur is said to be extremely powerful, but using it to make wands or talismans is not recommended, as the results are notoriously difficult to control.

	Despite their reputation as harbingers of death, some believe that the Grimhound can also bring good luck. It is said that if one is able to catch a glimpse of a Grimhound without being harmed, they will be blessed with good fortune, if only because they survived an encounter with what many believe to be an avatar of Death itself.
