The appearence of phantom black dogs can vary. Size can range from that of a normal medium sized dog, to very large bear-sized creatures. Their eyes are most often described as being red in color, and are said to glow or burn bright. However, green, yellow, white, blue, orange, and black eyes have been seen as well. Some are reported to appear headless, while others appear to float on a black cloud instead of running. Black dogs are usually silent, but some are known to make a splashing or thrashing sound as they walk, hence the name guytrash. Seeing a phantom black dog is said to be a bad omen, a sign that death draws near. Despite their malevolent appearence, phantom black dogs are harmless. Should you ever encounter one, have no fear! They will often lead lost people back to safty, and have been known to lead people away from danger.
