Indigenous to Zeutenheim’s mountainous regions, the Barghest has been trained over the centuries as a guard and tracking animal. Members of the species in the wild continue to set their prey on fire before going in for the kill, but to keep their food undamaged, humans bred fire magic out of the domesticated breeds.

This selective breeding was undone by the Crystal Fall, which augmented the latent magical powers of every creature on Terra. Now, Zeuten Soldiers release packs of Barghests against their enemies, setting both their foes and the terrain ablaze. This strategy has released a significant number of these fire hounds into the wild, to run amok on outlying villages.

The Barghest is a 1 point model that can inflict the Burn status effect with a Basic Attack. This is a great way to get extra damage in each turn while avoiding the higher DEF of some models. The Passive ability “Devour” also helps with the survivability of the low HP model, by healing 1 HP with each basic attack. Consider using Barghests as ‘guard dogs’ to keep the enemy from claiming tokens or objectives.

The Barghest is also a summonable model by the Summoner [F]. With only a 2 MP cost, the Barghest can be kept on the table for a long time, or summoned and dismissed to use the Summoner’s special Line/Burn attack, twice before running out of MP.
