Editing Barghest (section)

==Where did they come from?==
The barghest debuted for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1e in [[Dragon Magazine]] #26 in 1979, with a response in the letters column in Dragon #30 confirming that it had been written by [[Gary Gygax]] himself. It would subsequently be canonized with the [[Monster Manual]] II for that edition, with Jeff Grubb mentioning their presence in [[Gehenna]] in the original [[Manual of the Planes]].

Barghests were boosted to 2nd edition status in the [[Planescape]] boxed set, with further details in the Planes of Conflict boxed set.

[[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] featured barghests in its [[Monster Manual]], both for 3.0 and 3.5, and featured a barghest racial class in [[Savage Species]].

[[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] saw the dwindling of the barghest's star; it didn't come out until the [[Monster Manual]] 2.

This descent continued into [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], where barghests would not appear until Volo's Guide to Monsters.
