Dire Wolf

Dire Wolves are ancient creatures that stalk the northern areas of The Gauntlet. They Reside upon the forests and farmsteads that surround Forynfell hungry for sheep, cattle and even human flesh. They stand at roughly 6 foot tall and are almost twice as long, their shimmering white eyes and black teeth make them as terrifying as even the most disturbing nightmare.

It has been known for farmsteads to be slaughtered in one night by one of these awful beasts; man, woman and child all falling to it's attack...the perfect hunter does not discriminate.

It is rumored that the dire wolf came about as a wolf that was bitten by a Vampire and managed to sneak across the wall before breeding and creating the hellish packs that roam The Gauntlet today. Another legend is that the wolf is not a wolf but a formation of the terrible night itself, a mixture of the shadows and the shimmering moonlight that twists and winds itself into something monstrous.
