The Cŵn Annwn are a pack of otherworldy white hounds with red-ears from Welsh myth who can be heard running in the sky. Their growling is loudest when they are at a distance, and grows softer as they draw closer. To hear them is often seen as a death portent.

The cù-sìth is a mythological hound from Scottish folklore. A similar creature exists in Irish folklore (the cú sídhe), & it also bears some resemblance to the Welsh Cŵn Annwn. It's said those who hear it must reach safety by its third bark or risk dying of fear
