—Barkk, "Furious Fu" | ||
Barkk[4] is the kwami of Adoration who is connected to the Dog Miraculous.[5] With her power, Barkk's wearer can use the collar necklace to transform into a dog-themed superhero.
Barkk and her miraculous are currently owned by Gabriel Agreste, who uses it for evil purposes.
Appearance
Barkk is 10 centimeters (or 4 inches) tall[3] and is light brown with a white mark around her mouth, between her eyes, and on her chest. She has dark grayish cyan eyes, drop ears, a whisker on her forehead, and a pink tongue. She also has a tail that curves upwards.
Personality
Barkk is protective, dutiful and obedient, as seen in "Furious Fu" when she agreed with Marinette's reasoning of someone needing to stay behind and guard the Miracle Box and volunteering to stay and keep a lookout for trouble.
She also has very good instincts as she sensed something terrible was going to happen and was right when Su-Han arrived for the Miracle Box.
On occasion, Barkk is known to be playful as she joined in playing with one of Marinette's designer hats with her fellow kwamis. She also gets very excited as the prospect of something new, getting a new holder for example.
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, giving them the ability Fetch. This ability allows them to teleport any object they hit with their Ball into their possession.

Trivia
- Barkk was first revealed from a second season trailer on August 31, 2017.[5]
- Barkk's name was confirmed in the credits of the Latin American Spanish dub of "Sandboy".[4]
- Dogs are symbols of loyalty, assistance, protection, communication, and more.
- The dog is the eleventh animal of the Chinese zodiac.
- It's fitting that Barkk's power is fetch because it's a common game for people to play with dogs.
- Starting in season 4, Barkk is voiced by a girl named Sabrina in the English version. Coincidentally, the holder she gains in said season is also named Sabrina.
- Barkk is the eighth kwami to be used for evil, though briefly, following Nooroo, Duusu, Plagg (in an alternative timeline in "Cat Blanc" and "Ephemeral"), Pollen (briefly in "Miracle Queen"), Liiri (briefly in "Miraculous New York"), Wayzz (briefly in "Optigami" and later in "Strikeback") and Tikki (in an alternative timeline in "Ephemeral"). Barkk and her Miraculous were used for evil in "Strikeback" by Flairmidable, who used them to get all the Miraculouses of the Chinese Miracle Box to trade them with Gabriel Agreste for the Peacock Miraculous.
