Black Shuck is all black and is huge, about the size of a calf. he has large eyes that glow yellow, red, or green as if on fire. Often, he is headless, yet his eyes -where eyes should be- glow in the dark.
Black Shuck haunts graveyards, lonely country roads, misty marshes, or the hills around villages. In certain areas, he frequents old straight roads; it has been theorized that these "old straight tracks" may be leys, thought to be ancient lines of invisible earth energy known to ancient peoples, and used to site villages and sacred places.
