The Barghest often serves as an omen of death. At the passing of a notable person the Barghest may appear, followed by all the other dogs of the local area in a kind of funeral procession, heralding the person's death with howling and barking. If anyone were to get in the Barghest's way it would strike out with its paw and leave a wound that never heals.

Holliday is successfully married to English actor Harry Treadaway. Harry is best known for his performance as Victor Frankenstein in the horror series 'Penny Dreadful.' Grainger and Harry 33 years old have been seeing each other since 2015. The couple has successfully kept a low profile regarding their romantic life to the public. Looking into Grainger's past affairs, her first recorded relationship was with Luke Bailey; a British actor, writer, and director which started from 2007 lasting about four years. Holliday's second relationship initiated in 2011 with François Arnaud; a Candian TV and Film actor and ended in a year. Strid being the sister of Ripley & Scuff contradicts the events of the predecessor series: Roger & The Rottentrolls as Sigsworthy Crags had a wife (Ripley & Scuff's biological mother) who is a completely different character to Strid's biological mother, Kettlewell (who, as far as we know; never married Sigsworthy).
