Like the character, Cu Siths were depicted as guardians to mounds from which they live and are said to be gateways to the fae realm. | ||
* | ** Cu Sith's charge skill "Third Howling" is a reference to a well-known aspect of Cu Siths, the creatures would hunt silently for their prey and would let out three blood-curdling howls that could be heard from miles away. If a person does not reach safety upon hearing the third howl, they would be stricken with fear to the point of death. | ||
* In [[I Ain't Scared a No Halloween!]], Cu Sith's howl has the latent power of bringing people to his side by extreme empathy, which he only discovers in this event. | |||

Cu Sith's ability to cause death or heavy damage with his howls are negated by Leib's Rule of displacing damage and death onto trees nearby thereby preventing it from harming anyone. | ||
* His title of "Black Dog" is a reference to a creature of the [[Wikipedia:Black_Dog_(ghost)|same name]] found primarily in the folklore of the [[Wikipedia:British_Isles|British Isles]] and is often associated with death in European myths due to the scavenging nature of dogs. | |||
** The Black Dog referred to in Cu Sith's research file may be referring to {{Transient icon|Garmr}} who along with other creatures in European mythology, such as {{Transient icon|Barguest}} (English) and [[Wikipedia:Cerberus|Cerberus]] (Greek), are often referred to as "black dogs". | |||
*** {{Transient icon|Alice}} suggests Garmr and Cu Sith may have similar [[Role]]s. | |||
* Cu Sith is seemingly based on the [[Wikipedia:Golden_Retriever|Golden Retriever]] breed of dogs that were originally bred in [[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]] and are considered professional guard dogs. | |||
* In his Summonpedia page, it is noted that his former master was [https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/gruagach Gruagach] meaning "long-haired one", they are sometimes seen as a giant or ogre and they would aid humans in work often involving cattle. They are often associated with [[Wikipedia:Brownie_(folklore)|Brownies]] in British folklore. | |||
