Guen

The guen (グエン) are divine beasts (神獣), messengers of the gods that are extremely close to the gods in existence.

Appearance
The divine beasts are huge and have silver fur and sharp fangs.

Personality
As hunting hounds, the guen do not have sapient intelligence, as they obey their masters commands without question. Although they lack sapient intelligence, they expert hunters, able to track and relentlessly pursue their prey.

History
Two thousand years ago, the Heavenly Father Nosgalia hid in Aharthern with the guen before Anos could raise the world walls. After his death, the hounds attack the spirit forest and defeat its guardian, Lignon. Due to their divine nature, Shin uses Gneodoros, the God Slasher, to quickly dispose of them and defend the spirits. Some of them detect Anos and his time-traveling party, so he stealthily kills them with Vebzud. A larger guen appears, but Lay takes care of it.

Abilities

 * Divine Constitution: The divine beasts are close existences to the gods, and thus cannot be easily destroyed. Shin had to use Gneodoros, a sword that specializes in cutting divine beings, to kill them. In addition, they were able to survive Sasha's Magic Eyes of Destruction.
 * Spirit Consumption: The guen are able to kill spirits by consuming their rumors and legends. When they bit Aharthern's trees, they instantly withered.
 * Spirit Magic Immunity: They are not affected by spirit magic, which strengthens them instead, as demonstrated when Reno blasted them with Gigadeil.
 * Keen Senses: They possess keen senses, as they were able to detect Anos' group, which was cloaked with Lynel and had their magic hidden by Najila.

Nosgalia
During the Mythical Age, the guen attacked the Great Spirit Forest under Nosgalia's orders in order to draw out the Great Spirit Reno per Nosgalia's wishes. They later assisted Nosgalia in his battle against Shin Reglia.
