Wolf race

Race wolf

Wolves -- forest hunters with army discipline and a permanent appetite. Grey, long-legged, with eyes that show you everything you ought not to have done.

The thick fur holds the frost -- winter is only a plus. Wounds knit on the move, they sense prey by warmth from a kilometre off. Fire, though, devours the fur fast, and a burning wolf is a dead wolf. In battle, as a pack, they are merciless: they go berserk, dodge, chase at speed, and always rescue a packmate.

Packs live in Haon Dor, in Mirkwood, and in Moria. In winter they sometimes come close to villages -- and then the village has to choose: the stores or the watchdog.
