Barkk

"We must cut off all communication! Hawk Moth is trying to track us down!"

- Barkk

 is a kwami that is connected to the Dog Miraculous. With her power, its wearer can use the Miraculous to transform into a dog-themed superhero. She is currently dormant in her Miraculous in Master Wang Fu's Miracle Box, as seen in "Sapotis".

Appearance
Barkk is light brown with a white mark around her mouth, between her eyes, and on her chest. She has gray eyes, drop ears, a whisker on her forehead, and a pink tongue. She also has a tail that curves upwards.

Abilities
Barkk can fly, levitate, and phase through solid objects. She can also carry objects that are larger and/or heavier than herself.

As a kwami, Barkk is able to transform the holder of the Dog Miraculous into a dog-themed superhero, although it is currently unknown what the transformation looks like or what powers the transformed person gains.

Before Season 2
Barkk came into existence when the concept connected to it came into existence. Before the Miraculous jewels were created, she and the other kwamis traveled all over the universe unable to interact with humans. Then, thousands of years later, a mage created the Miraculouses. When its Miraculous was not being worn, Barkk was dormant in the Dog Miraculous, which was stored inside the Miracle Box.

Season 2
During Season 2, Barkk was dormant in the Dog Miraculous.

In "Sandboy", Barkk was celebrating Nooroo's birthday in the Miracle Box with the other kwamis, and she was excited when Tikki and Plagg arrived. She marveled at the gift Tikki brought, a marker that she thought was a paintbrush, and she played with the other kwamis. When it came the time to find Nooroo, Barrk got into position in an effort to contact him, but they contacted his wielder instead. Hearing him, the kwamis shuddered at the thought of being his slave, and they prevented him from discovering their location by cutting off the connection. They realized if they contacted Nooroo's wielder, rather than Nooroo, then someone must have been akumatized, and Tikki and Plagg's wielders would be in danger.
