Fang

"There's nothin' that lives in the forest that'll hurt yeh if yer with me or Fang."

- Rubeus Hagrid

Fang is one of Rubeus Hagrid's pets.

History
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Fang accompanies Ron Weasley and Harry to visit Aragog. Later in that book, Harry and Ron take care of Fang when Hagrid is sent to Azkaban. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he is injured while Hagrid is attacked by Ministry of Magic wizards. Hagrid then brings Fang with him when he escapes. When Hagrid's hut gets lit on fire in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Fang is trapped inside but is then rescued.

Fang's final appearance is in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows where he participates in The Battle of Hogwarts alongside his owner Hagrid.

Personality and Traits
He is a large black dog 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".

Behind the scenes

 * In the books, Fang is said to be a boarhound, or Great Dane. In the movies, Fang is portrayed by a Neapolitan Mastiff, a very different breed, though one that was also used against boars.
