Unleashing the Mystery: Gamers Debate the Breed of Black Myth: Wukong’s Enigmatic Canine Companion
Uncovering the Mystery of Xu Gou in Black Myth: Wukong
Black Myth: Wukong is home to numerous non-playable characters (NPCs) that offer assistance to players, and Xu Gou is one of them. This unique character can refine consumable pills, provide immortality pills with permanent attribute enhancements, and even offer free pills at regular intervals. Xu Gou’s helpful nature has earned it the title of a “super good brother” among players.
Recently, a player sparked a heated discussion on Reddit by asking, “I bet you don’t know what kind of dog Xu Gou is!” The conversation revealed that many players believe Xu Gou to be a fox, citing its cunning voice and appearance.

However, some players have clarified that Xu Gou is indeed a dog, referencing the story of the Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs. Although Xu Gou’s in-game appearance may resemble a fox, its true nature is rooted in ancient Chinese culture.

It’s worth noting that Xu Gou’s dialogue often contains references to heaven and earth, which has led to comparisons with the popular TV series Breaking Bad. This has resulted in Xu Gou being referred to as the “Chinese version of Breaking Bad” in online forums.
