Sirius Black's nickname due to the mythical creature that was his animagus. His animagus is the padfoot (aka, Barghest of Yorkshire, Cu Sith, Shriker, Galleytrot, etc), which is a large black dog with gleaming eyes that is supposed to have represented death.

His nickname is very commonly mistaken for being created due to a dog's padded feet, but this is incorrect
