The monstrous direwolf is a huge powerful beast with baleful red eyes that seem to bore through to the very soul. Impressively large bone deposits protrude across the breadth of the beast's back and neck. Large teeth that seem too big even for the massive maw can easily be seen even when the powerful jaws are closed. Mist, or perhaps tendrils of smoke, occasionally drift up from the flaring nostrils. Sharp eyes, and a sense of smell to match, and a cunning said to rival demons make a direwolf something to avoid.

Behind The Scenes

In the I.C.E. Age lore the Wood Elves of the Blue Forest were ethnically cleansed by the mannish conqueror Ugus Fost with his war wolves. His empire was soon destroyed by the Priests Arnak who had reawakened the Shards, warped "tree golems", who were described as cunning and often compared to demons. The priests were mostly Iylari, the high born Elves of Shadow World. The Elven Village and its Ilvari story were added later.
