assistant
The name Skriker is also derived from a dialect word for "screech" in reference to its frightful utterances. The Yeth Hound (or Yell Hound) is a black dog found in Devon folklore. According to Brewer's "Dictionary of Phrase and Fable", the Yeth Hound is a headless dog, said to be the spirit of an unbaptised child, that rambles through the woods at night making wailing noises.
