*''[[Bloodborne]]'' has many, but the Cleric Beast and Vicar Amelia are among the most iconic examples. They look like massive bipedal wolves with reindeer antlers that have been starved to death, and their screams sound truly hellish. Both seem to be some form of Wendigo, with the latter introducing herself by erupting forth from the body of a seemingly normal priestess. |

*Barbas from ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' is a benevolent and adorable example, being a talking [[Big Friendly Dog]] with a Brooklyn accent and the best bud of [[Eldritch Abomination|Daedric Prince]] |
*Barbas from ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' is a benevolent and adorable example, being a talking [[Big Friendly Dog]] with a Brooklyn accent and the best bud of [[Eldritch Abomination|Daedric Prince]] Clavicus Vile... as well as an aspect and the conscience of the Prince himself, who tries to keep him from screwing over anyone unfortunate enough to bargain with him. Furthermore, ''[[The Elder Scrolls: Redguard]]'' shows that he doesn't strictly stick to the form of a dog, and can be seen randomly changing forms before resetting back to his dog form. Clavicus will even comment on it, saying that he likes being a dog on sunny days, as well as many other things. |

*Since the Heartless from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' are an entire ''race'' of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]], the ones with more animalistic forms invoke this trope such as the [[Maniac Monkeys|Powerwilds and Bouncywilds]] or [[Giant Spider|Pot Spiders]]. But even among them, there are a few that stand out: |

**Skoll, a massive wolf |
**Skoll, a massive wolf Heartless named after the giant sun-chasing wolf from Norse mythology. It fights by summoning packs of ghostly wolf minions, firing off powerful ice attacks, and trying to crush Sora and friends underneath a mass of darkness big enough to fill up the sky. But what makes it ''really'' special is the fact that it's the Heartless of [[Frozen|Prince Hans]] himself, who's been completely corrupted by the darkness in his heart. |

**[[The Lion King|Scar]] similarly becomes consumed by hatred and rage. But unlike Hans, his inner darkness is so powerful that he manages to hold onto his original form after becoming a Heartless... a feat only shared by ''[[Big Bad|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]''. {{spoiler|And even in death, Scar's ghost lingers as a powerful presence that haunts the Pride Lands, eventually turning into a ''massive'' Heartless called the Groundshaker after merging with a ton of other ghost Scars}}. |
