In Welsh folklore, Peredur (Sir Percival) offended King Arthur's brother Kay when Peredur didn't notice Kay one winter's day. Peredur was enthralled by a raven standing in the snow. Its black feathers reminded Peredur of the hair of his beloved and the snow reminded him of her skin.

In English folklore, a barghest is a monstrous black dog with fiery eyes. It foretells the deaths of important people through barking and howling, and its paws cause wounds that don't heal. Sometimes a barghest will turn invisible and walk about with the sound of rattling chains.
