Fang
"Out of the way, Fang... Out of the way, yeh dozy dog..."
—Rubeus Hagrid talking to Fang[src]

He is a large hound who slobbers constantly. He once completely soaked Harry Potter's robes while laying his head on Harry's knee. When someone enters Hagrid's hut, he will greet them with loud, booming barks and almost always a sound licking on either their faces or ears. He is very protective of Hagrid but is a "bloody coward".
