Growl, known in Japan as Runark (ルナーク, Runāku), is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up originally released for arcades by Taito in 1990. Set in the early 20th century, the player controls a forest ranger who must protect the local wildlife from a group of evil poachers who are driving the animals to extinction. A home version was released for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) in November 1991. It was also included in the arcade game compilation Taito Legends 2 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows.
