* In English folklore, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barghest Barguest] is a sort of mountain fairy appearing in the form of a black dog or bear. The sound of rattling chains follows them, and they are considered an omen of death. | |||
* In his past, {{Transient icon|Barguest}} used to be {{Transient icon|Hecate}}'s servant. This possibly has some mythological origins—Hekate was a Greek goddess known for her dog familiars. As mythological barguests are more widely known as black dogs, this may be a reference to that original interpretation. Additionally, {{Transient icon|Hecate|show name=n}} Hecate uses the pen name H. L. Hound for her writing work. Hellhounds are the Greek guardians of the underworld, and a barguest can be considered to be the English folklore equivalent. | |||
* The clover necklace {{Transient icon|Barguest|show name=n}} Barguest wears is a good luck charm created by {{Transient icon|Hecate|show name=n}} Hecate in hopes to improve his luck. | |||
* On the release of the [[AR Equipment]] banner, his necklace's charm on his original {{Star|3}} and {{Star|4}} was changed from a gold cross to a gold four-leaf clover. Both release-day AR Equipment starring Barguest ({{AR Equip|en name=Bears of the Mountain}} and {{AR Equip|en name=Like a Box of Chocolates}}) used his redesign. The original sprites can be seen [https://imgur.com/a/WZpy4j7 here]. | |||
* On the release of the [[Valentine Timeslip]] event, {{Transient icon|Barguest|show name=n}} Barguest's previous voice actor, Josuke Shinomiya, was replaced by Yuki Arimoto. Upon the change, his original {{Star|3}} and {{Star|4}} voice lines were replaced with Arimoto's takes. A video of Shinomiya's Barguest can be found [https://youtu.be/gObEOOdG06w here]. | |||
