Few objects produced more terror among the Isles- folks than the cu sith, or faery dog, a creature of ill omen they sometimes encountered on dark nights, moving swiftly and noiselessly from place to place. Faery dogs are said to be about the size of a two-year-old stirk. For the most part, they are dark green in colour, though toward the feet the green takes on a lighter hue. Some possess long tails, which they coil over their backs : others have a flat tail, "plaited like the straw rug of a pack- saddle." Their motion is silent and rhythmical, and is always in a straight line.
Their bark has been described as a rude clamour. It sounds not unlike that of an ordinary dog, but it is louder. Faery dogs, they say in the Isles, bark only three times; and there is usually a fair interval between each bark, which gives to the terror-stricken hearer a chance of making for safety before he heards the third bark. Otherwise, he is liable to be overtaken and destroyed by the faery dog. The footprints of the faery dog are said to be very large. Some aver that they are as broad as the spread of the human hand. They have been traced in snow, in muddy places, and upon the sands.

You've likely heard of the cat-sìth, if only because of FF7, but did you know there's also the cù-sìth (coo-shee)?
This is just a messy daily sketch, maybe one day I'll do a proper piece

Why does Cu Sith have to be cute as a button? I feel like that’s his real power.
"Aw, thank you! I've been getting that a lot today at my new job! And it leads to nice tips!"
"At this rate, I'll be able to get everyone's gifts for sure!"

My monster high oc! They're a Cù Sìth which is a fae hound in Irish folklore! They have braided tails, and roam deep forests. It's said if you hear their howl you will die, and they're often seen as a reaper of souls.
