Erdtree Burial Watchdog
Erdtree Burial Watchdogs are living stone statues that look like hunched, caped cats with long tails. They guard the catacombs where the dead were given Erdtree burial, and they command the imps that patrol those halls.
They are among the most common dungeon bosses in the game. Some carry swords, some carry sceptres, and some breathe fire. The first one many players meet waits at the end of the Stormfoot Catacombs in Limgrave.

How to beat it
Watchdogs leap toward you and swing in long arcs. Stay close and under them, and roll toward them rather than away. When their eyes glow and they breathe in, a fire attack is coming.
