Arales

Dog-like creatures from Armenian mythology.

Յարալեզ — the original spelling of the word "Aralez" in Armenian. ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌ ​‌​​‌‌ ​‌​‌​‌​ ​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌‌‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌

These are spirits who appeared in the form of winged creatures that descended from the sky to resurrect the fallen in battles, licking their wounds.

It is believed that they are similar to gampres (a breed of wolfhounds similar to Caucasian shepherds).
