Shuck

Shuck is a demonic phantom dog who once belonged to Vanity. He haunted a 11th century viking fort during the mid 1600s. He was responsible for killing a drunken man. He was even traced back to the early 10th century and given the nickame - Moddey Dhoo, (meaning "Black Dog")

Appearance
Shuck is a black hound in Manx folklore that reportedly haunted Peel Castle on the west coast of the Isle of Man. He is described "as big as a calf and with eyes like pewter plates" (Killip 1976), this seems to derive from a report of a modern sighting of the calf-sized dog (Gill 1932), combined with the description of the eyes of a troll. But in reality, his eyes are glowing red.

Role
Many years before the apocalypse, On the Western shores of the Isle of Man is an 11th-century Viking fort known as Peel Castle. Years ago, an unmarked grave was found inside the castle, and inside the grave were the bones of a massive dog.

It’s believed that these were the bones of Shuck, an enormous black spaniel that haunts the castle at night. The guards took to walking their shift in pairs, so that nobody could ever be caught alone by the spectral hound.

As the legend goes, in 1670, one of the guards got drunk and decided that he would go around locking up the castle gates alone that night. The other guards waiting in the guardroom suddenly heard a loud noise and the sounds of a struggle, but they were all too scared to go see what was happening. After some time had passed, the lone guard staggered back into the room in a stupor. He never said another word, and he dropped dead three days later.

After the locals caught on, they went to the burial site and burned Shuck's remains and locked them away for him to never return, this angered the phantom even more.
