Argantor was aided in battle not only by his horse but also by a war hound named Pike. He was more than just a beast, but a formidable companion, capable of dragging riders from their saddles and tearing the tendons of warhorses. On the fateful day when demons felled Argantor, Pike was gravely wounded and thrown into the thicket. He survived and was able to return to the battlefield. There, he found the body of his fallen master. The dog accompanied the body to the capital, and then remained to guard its resting place near the tomb until its death. The dog has long since died of old age, and no one guards the body of the great Argantor. However, today, those who dare approach the tomb at night hear a quiet, menacing growl. However, there have been no guard dogs at the tomb for many years.
